Planning a new fairy garden

The first two pictures  show our fairy garden from last year. We had a great time working on it. The ring was already in the garden so we only needed to clear it out, cover with cardboard to kill the weeds and avoid the grass coming into it. The stones were also already there, we just re-arranged them so they looked harmonious. It turned out beautiful and we really enjoyed the final look. But there was a problem… the fairy garden was too far away from the house. It not only didn’t get appreciated enough but I ended up forgetting to look after it. This year we’ll make the fairy garden right close to our house, where I always thought it should be by the way (but was talked out of it by hubby last year >:s).  The container is perfect and charming and I think it will lend itself beautifully to a fairy garden.  We’ve already got some plants for it and even a new house for the fairies As for the old space, I’ll use it as a flower bed. It is the perfect spot for a pop of colour in our backyard.

A primeira foto mostra o nosso jardim das fadas do ano passado. Nós nos divertimos planejando e arrumando o jardim. O anel de terra já estava lá e nós só tivemos que limpar a área e cobrir com papelão para a grama não voltar. As pedras também já estavam lá e nós só rearranjamos para ficarem mais harmoniosas. Ficou lindo! Mas tinha um problema. Ele ficava muito longe da casa e acabava não sendo tão admirado quando deveria. E, verdade seja dita, a gente acabava esquecando de cuidar dele. Esse ano nós vamos fazer o jardim das fadas do lado de casa, aliás onde eu sempre achei que ele deveria ser (Warren me convenceu a fazer no quintal ano passado!). A tina é perfeita e super charmosa e acho que o jardim vai ficar uma graça. Já o espaço antigo eu vou usar para plantar flores. É o lugar perfeito para um pouco de cor no quintal.
