We’ll have ideas to get you started and then let your imagination do the rest. Please bring your own 12- to 15-inch-diameter basket or container filled with potting soil, a glue gun if you have one, and any fairy garden accessories you would like to add to your garden. We will supply the plants, the natural materials, and examples of fairy decorations to make.
