Garden A Day Challenge - Day 4, Warm Glow of Autumn
No no, we did not skip forward in time but it is time for my fourth garden of the Garden A Day Challenge.
This Autumn-themed garden was inspired by a gift I received on my 50th anniversary. My granddaughter gave me this house that comes with pumpkins, a scarecrow, and leaves on the roof scattered about by a brisk wind.
The loose pumpkins, leaves, green coverage and the wicker basket base was all from my personal inventory. The flair behind the house are also things I already owned and have used before, purchased at The Dollar Tree. That means that this garden was zero cost.
I typically don't do off-season gardens, but I felt that this one needed to be created since it was a recent gift and it has a special surprise inside.
It lights up inside! It was hard to take a picture, but there are actually figurines inside as well. This one was plugged in near the vent just for the photo so it won't stay there.
In the future I plan to make more gardens and garden accents with lights. I feel like this will give me another avenue to stretch my legs out on as well as make my garden a bit more appealing at any hour.

Preparing the Feast
They say a picture can say a thousand words - it's a shame I can't trade some of those words for a smell because this picture here smells delicious! We're prepping for the Fall Festival here in the garden.
The scarecrows are keeping a look out, making sure no critters come and mess with the food before it's ready. They are also great whistlers!
These cuties begged to help with the food prep and it's their first year. They're so excited!
Pumpkin - the fairy - sits between some of the harvest, examining a small pumpkin, trying to decide what recipe would best suit it.
What a lovely Fall day!

Fall Has Arrived
Hazel the witch has made an appearance in the garden right on time and has brought some friends. Last year she helped pass out candy to the young fairies that celebrated Halloween.
This decorative witch heel is an example of how to change any container garden into a themed garden to add a little festive flair to your space.
This is Grover the Hedgehog, one of Hazel's friends. He's dressed as a Wizard.
Hazel is happy that her friends can join her in celebrating Fall this year in Grandma's Enchanted Fairy Garden. It won't be long now until the preparations begin.
This is another visiting friend, Hootie the owl. He's most excited for the Fall Festival food that Hazel has told him about.
These two scarecrows can't help but smile.

Haunted House
 |
| This is my first attempt at a spooky scene for my fairy gardens. Pictured above is the focal point; the Haunted House, surrounded by pumpkins, spider webs and a cemetery off to the side. |
 |
| Here is a closer shot of the Graveyard amongst the hay. You can also see a pumpkin and a spider in the foreground. |
 |
| A closer look at the Haunted House reveals a happy gathering of pumpkins of all kinds as well as some dead trees and a rock path as accents. |
 |
| Andy was brought in to scare the crows away, but with a charming smile like that, he's making more friends than enemies. |
 |
| Rose, Tink and Samm are busy making a holiday treat for the rest of the fairies; apple and mint candies. |
 |
| An overall view of my first spooky garden. I love how the sunset adds to the spook-factor by adding an orange tint. I'm excited to grow from this and show you and even better spooky garden next year. |
