I want to propose a new forum for miniature or fairy gardens

I think this is a great idea. I saw a topic thread in the Cottage Garden forum about fairy gardens. Tabasco has included many links to fairy gardens just in case anyone is interested in taking a look see. If it's a redundancy, please excuse.

Seedpicker, I like your idea of collecting inspirational pictures for an ideas folder. Just brainstorming, could doll furniture work as well for hardscapes in the fairy garden?

haigr-I think the one you are referring to is one of the tiny thymes.

Deborah-yes, some of the bests sites are the dollhouse ones, but you have to make sure they'll hold up to outdoors(if yours is going to be outdoors).

I intend to clear coat that little white arbor I want to buy, before setting it outside.

I was talking about the one with the tiny pink blooms next to the armillary are those thyme? BTW where did you ever find a mini brass armillary. We have a full size one in our garden.

LOL love the Leisurely Persuits idea!!! That would be the way I go!! Oh, I do hope this materializes as it could be so much fun learning and sharing with all.

I, too, collect gardening ideas and put into clear pockets I put in notebooks that are labeled. Great to go back and review, then use as a basis to do something in/for my yard. Hey, I could be doing worse things!!

Doll furniture--super idea. Just so happens I have some of the small cans of Cabot outdoor finish that would be the perfect size to keep on hand for such projects.

I would love a forum on fairy or gnome gardens!

Haigr-Not sure about some of those plants...that is one that was NOT done by me. I just posted it for inspiration and to show a great example of a miniature garden.
:-)

Just a short update on my Sami (mini-schnauzer) She seems to be getting back to her old self, meds are doing their job. Now I can concentrate on all the goodies here. Please, DG, let us have this forum......Pretty please

Sure glad your baby is better Samigal. Guess I have been lucky none of mine have ever noticed the foxtail.

Has anyone talked to admin. about a forum? I probably missed a post about it, but too lazy to go back. Sure would be easier to have in one place. Going all over is gonna give you a headache or a stroke!!! lol

Becky try to calm Lissa down!!!

Rainey.....mmmmffff Mawissa wants a Fairy Garden so Mawissa gonna get a Fairy Garden...LOL!!! Luv you Mom ;o) hee hee hee

You are nuts. What lissa wants lissa gets. I'm going to hang around and learn how. I've never heard of it before. I hope they get a whole forum, they have everything else as a forum!!!

Rainey, they even have a farm like 20 mins from my house that has all these cool little fairy gardens around. I'm gonna go check it out, beside they have a couple siamese kitties too and you know I can't resist a siamese cat!! here's the link

www.summerspastfarms.com/fairygardens.htm

but they also sell fairy garden supplies too ;o)

When do you think we will know if there is going to be a forum added or not? I am getting anxious now--this is contagious.

Oooooh! I checked out that site. I'm hooked! But, I really can't get started with this! To expensive! Sigh. Tempting!
But they're soooo cute! No, no, I can't! Somebody twist my arm!

We're twisting Audrey. You'll do it!! If we offer you some Baileys? LOL

Hmmmmmmmm!

keep you hand away from that send button!!!!

Thanks, Lorrainne! I needed that!

Oh WOW! What a great website! Love all the miniature fairy stuff they are selling. We definitely need a forum to come up with ideas to make this stuff CHEAP. You know there are ways!

Is there an online website that sells the fairies? Anyone know?

Target has a bronze fairy that is laying down with her feet propped up reading a book. That one is so cute! Course it's a larger statuette but hey, it's a sweetie.

Thanks, Deb! My garden beds are looking great now after 3 years. I am trying to start adding garden art to add some whimsy around the garden beds. I just love the Fairy garden art!!! Too cute for sure! :-)

How long before we know about the forum? Morning Deborah--where you been?

Becky, someone put these on here, Enchanted Fairy Gardens, and another called Summers Past Farms Fairy Gardens. You might have to Google them, but they're adorable!
