Here is my 26th garden for this month's Miniature Garden Challenge - a challenge I posed to my followers, encouraging them to create one miniature garden, in any theme, and share it tagged #JuneFairyGardenChallenge2019.
A new fairy comes to stay in my garden and is the spotlight on this container garden I made for the Miniature Garden Challenge. I personally challenged myself to create 30 gardens in 30 days, but I challenged my followers to simply create one. Have you entered your garden yet?
Another theme for my Miniature Garden Challenge is a series of "gardens" with fairies playing and hiding in the trees. These are perfect examples of being creative when it comes to creating a miniature garden - you don't need to be restricted to a container.
I finally bought a new miniature for my garden and for the Miniature Garden Challenge. This is Jeff and Robert, two rambunctious brothers who, I'm concerned, are headed towards an injury but they are having fun in the process.
June 21 is World Music Day so I've created the following fairy gardens to follow the theme.
These four gardens are part of my Miniature Garden Challenge and I spent nothing to make these since I had all the plants, containers and miniatures in my inventory already.
Using this hashtag, I want to see all your creations during the month of June. I am planning on doing one garden myself each day this month, so here's my third batch of gardens below.

I created three new fairy gardens recently. If you're not new here, you know I can create my fairy gardens quickly and with very little cash because I have an inventory of decor at my disposal. So, while one container can be planted with a setting of plants, it can be changed up by adding new decor. Taking it even further, you can add lights to a miniature garden to add ambiance and a few extra hours of enjoyment after the sun clocks out.
Here are three of my most recent container gardens amplified by the faint glow of dispersed fairy lights as well as inner lighting. Some fairy houses I've purchased come with the ability to be lit up, furthering the fantasy that this is indeed an inhabitable dwelling with the indoor lights on, shining out through the windows. It adds an extra charm to it all, don't you think?

I've been joining quite a few challenges this past year, really kicking it into high gear in the past 6 months. I'm enjoying them, but I decided I wanted to put something together for all of my followers. I love seeing your creations and wanted an excuse to show them all off! So this month, I'm asking you to create a miniature garden, fairy garden, container garden - almost anything - and share it with me. You can email it, share it on my YouTube, Facebook or tag me on Instagram! All social media links are below. Be sure to use the hashtag #JuneFairyGardenChallenge2019
This is basically a tour of the Armstrong Garden Center in Claremont (735 E Foothill Blvd, Claremont, CA 91711). I made a trip here last month and also created a video of the items I purchased.
I picked up some small fairy garden accessories, including a new baby, and some new colorful flowers and foliage. I spent more than I would have liked to, but it's hard to contain myself when surrounded by such beautiful things!
I am finally ready to use my Christmas gift from my daughter in my garden! She gifted me this lovely miniature gardening set that included a workbench with shelving, three succulents, seed packages gloves, boots and a watering can - all the perfect size for a fairy gardener!
I purchased this greenhouse a while back and have used it in other scenes, but I knew it'd be perfect for this little scene so I cleared it out and cleared out an area of my yard to be dedicated to this scene.
How amazing is this?! Now Jessica and I can garden right alongside each other!
I found this fairy recently during a trip to a secondhand store, after my trip to Veggiepalooza. She was $5 and I also purchased the green pebbles from the Dollar Tree. The container and succulent cuttings were all things I already had, so this garden was only $6. Wow! What a vibrant garden!
Three different lights purchased at the 99 Cents Only Store; flower, bird and butterfly. They cycle through multiple colors which means they will never go unnoticed! What a deal.
The newest addition to our garden is baby Coco, already with a health appetite. I found her gumming on some chard. I also discovered some colorful eggs in a nest which I'm interested to see what comes out of that.
The following fairy house was created by Nick from Nevada. He's been making them for a few years and wanted to share this creation with the rest of My Fairy Folks.
This "Springtime Palace" was created for less than $10 using fake flowers, painted wood, gems and seashells.
The base was created from a Chinese checkers board from Goodwill and a silver painted wooden labyrinth found at a garage sale. What a lovely home that is sure to attract a happy fairy.
The new life for February is Nikolai, pictured here next to his big sister, Amy. Nikolai's thick pajamas and knit hat keep this rosy-cheeked baby boy warm in the chilly month of February. Amy is very excited to share everything with her new brother, even her favorite pink heart-shaped pillow.
