Fairies Go Hollywood – How to Recreate Some (Micro) Classics in Your Own Backyard
Fairy garden enthusiasts know just how addictive it can be to create tiny worlds of adventure and curiosity with unique characters and beautiful botanicals. However, for those not inclined to be inventive on their own, micro-gardening also presents unique opportunities to recreate some family favorites indoors and out.
Hollywood Themes for Your Garden
Second star to the right and straight on till morning! Peter Pan is leading Wendy to the treetop home of The Lost Boys. With Mr. Smee and Hook close behind on their ship, and Skull Island in your sights, join Tinkerbell and create your own adventures in Neverland. Or, head down the rabbit hole to a Wonderland of opportunity with plucky Alice, the Cheshire cat, a Mad Hatter, and Queen of Heart(lessness). Add a colorful (and off kilter) tea kettle to your garden and invite the March Hare and all of your friends for an Alice in Wonderland tea party under colorful leaves of plantings.
Bambi and Thumper (coming soon) just love to frolic in the garden and their sweet curiosity is the perfect complement to the magic of a fairy garden. Create a home for these lovable characters within your own forest of succulents and blooms. Also found in the wood, Snow White (also coming soon) keeps house in a tiny cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, safe from the evil queen’s red apple, yet kept in good company by the forest friends she makes where ever she goes.
Somewhere over the rainbow you’ll find an Emerald City among your own greenery complete with enchanted trees and flying monkeys. Recreate the yellow brick road to visit the Wizard of Oz with Dorothy, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow as they and the munchkins avoid the Wicked Witch of the West. Turn your fairy garden into Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden and cultivate the tales of Peter Rabbit with Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail, as they pass Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Benjamin Bunny and other characters from the beloved Beatrix Potter book.
Holiday favorites can also come alive in your fairy garden with Halloween themed décor and Christmas scenes. Conjure up charmingly Spooktacular seasonal favs with tombstones, zombies, and classic characters like Dracula, the Mummy, and Frankenstein. Design festive gardens that jingle all the way as Santa’s sleigh and reindeer pass cheerful carolers in front of decked out gingerbread houses sending season’s greetings to all that view your masterpiece.
Bringing your favorite movies to life in your fairy garden can pay homage to some of the films and books you’ve enjoyed and bring a piece of history into your home. Turning your micro-garden into a scene stealing focal point will insight conversation and admiration and bring a unique twist to an otherwise ordinary garden.
