While Mother Nature is taking care of bringing green back outdoors, I’m adding a little green to our indoor space. Now, I don’t have much of a green thumb but ever since I scored this beautiful Victorian-style terrarium/miniature greenhouse at an antique shop, I’ve been wanting to create a small fairy garden.

Materials: (with some affiliate links)

• Terrarium – Pierre Decorative Greenhouse
  
• Aluminum foil
• Moss – Zoo Med Terrarium Moss 30 to 40 Gallons
• Assorted house plants – Terrarium & Fairy Garden Plants – Assortment of 3 Different Plants in 2″ Pots
• Potting soil
• Containers (choose something fun that fits your own decor style) I got my numbered galvanized buckets at Jo-Ann Fabrics.
• Spring floral picks
• Pebbles – Polished River Pebbles
• Decorative accessories (birdhouse, fairies – Fairy Nancy Jean or Hobby Lobby, faux moss rocks – 9 x Artificial Moss Stones, Plant Decoration Accessory, faux bird nest and eggs – Realistic Bird Nest Décor)

Putting it together: Because my terrarium base is a wooden tray, I kept my plants in individual containers. I started by lining the bottom of my terrarium with foil topped with moss. I potted the small house plants in pretty planters and placed them throughout my terrarium. Since my plants aren’t of the flowering variety, I added spring color with a floral pick from Jo-Ann Fabrics. Pebbles create a winding path. Then ‘decorated’ with my accessories.

Aren’t the fairies sweet?

It’s not easy photographing glass. 🙁

Finally, I got to add the beautiful terrarium top…

I keep the terrarium in our sitting room where it gets plenty of sun and do remember to water the plants about once a week and a month later – they’re still alive! Maybe I’ll be a gardener yet!

It’s no secret around here that I’m suffering from spring fever.
