Here is a wonderful garden to plant in your yard. I saw this and thought what a wonderful idea. So I'm going to share it with you all. The idea of a fairy garden is to get the little people to come and live in your garden and protect it from harm. Here are the plants and flowers for it. You don't need to plant all of them just some of them will do.
