Fairy Garden Class - Herbs Anytime of Year


In the Fall, I noticed a new fragrance in the air of my Fairy Garden. I followed the scent which led to a small container full of herbs which are great year round for cooking. After a little snooping, I discovered it was the work of Brianna who arrived short of two years ago. I sat down to talk with her and found out that she has been working with the children to learn about herbs and grow them. "That's right," I said "I remember when you were offered the job, you were so excited to teach!" We planned to meet again soon so I could take pictures of her work and possibly sit in on a class.

Start with a container.
I used a typical terra cotta pot.
Find some herbs you are likely to use in your
cooking. I found this at a local Stater Bros.
Market which includes Rosemary, Thyme
and Sage.
This German Thyme was found at Home Depot.




This Lemon Thyme is also from Home Depot.

By placing your herbs around the edges and rear of the pot, you allow yourself room to place decor of your choice to make this a decorative yet functional container garden!

If you have any questions about herbs, container gardens, or anything else we share here on the blog (including questions about a fairy in particular), please feel free to contact Grandma Sandy in the comment or via email.

Rosemary Park - Uncharted Territory

March, 2014

January, 2016

What a difference two years makes. In the first photo, before this location was ever named, this area was the frontier for expansion from the backyard (which is when my husband started to worry this was more than a phase). Now, here we are at the beginning of 2016 where it is taking on a new look full of Rosemary and soon-to-bloom Sweet Peas.

In April, 2014, there were no Rosemary or Sweet Pea in bloom, but they were peeking above the soil.

This photo is also from April 2014 and shows how beautiful this area was (and how vibrant my lawn used to be). Most of this area has been or will be renovated. The planter on the left is the area we are focusing on and which I have finally dubbed Rosemary Park.
