Create a Fairy Garden Terrarium
Really close friends can come up with the best gifts! My BFF since kindergarten sent me an amazing kit for my last birthday last winter so that me and the kids could create our own indoor fairy garden terrarium. Here’s what was included …
a one-gallon glass jar with lid, terrarium potting soil, river rocks, charcoal, sheet moss, 5 small plants, and instructions
Following the instructions we got started by filling the bottom of the glass jar with the river rocks, adding the charcoal (to prevent mold and odor), putting down a layer of sheet moss, and then adding a deep layer of soil.
Then we were ready to add the plants … the shorter, fuller ones were the best to use in order for them to fit with the lid on the jar.
After the plants were in, we added another layer of the sheet moss. What what fairy garden would be complete without a little fairy house? (the one we used one a clay house I had purchased the summer before at a craft fair) It was the perfect addition to our magical world.
