Haul - Green Scene Expo 2019
Here are 5 succulents I purchased from a vendor at the Green Scene Expo in Fullerton. The four purple succulents were purchased especially for a project I'm working on. The four in the front were purchased due to their unique look and the fact that I do not have them yet in my garden. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of any of these plants.
I purchased these two watering cans from the Fullerton Garden Club booth, each with drainage which would make lovely container gardens. They're represented at this event every year and I always manage to find something at their booth for my garden.
Two golden berry plants! One of the main reasons I attended this event. This plant is hard to find and I just loved the berries from my garden last year so I made sure to get to the event early. I walked directly to this booth when I arrived to find a crowd of people already after my beloved plants! I was still able to purchase two healthy golden berry plants, but I'm sure if I was an hour later, they would have all been gone. What a popular plant!
This crystal flower was purchased at a booth that sold many crystal creations ranging from flora and fauna! I was even told by my friend that the vendor has a storefront and I plan to make a trip soon.
And finally, I brought two new fairies home! These twin sisters came with their own mushroom stools, sold by the same vendor as the crystal creations.

Local Happenings - Veggiepalooza!
On March 16 and 17, Veggipalooza attracted quite the crowd of "green thumbs" to browse nearly 300 home-garden friendly plants for sale. I managed to buy a few types of tomatoes and beans but it was a hard decision. I passed up Clint Eastwood's tomatoes but will hopefully try them next year. I'd also like to thank my best friend for accompanying me on this day trip.

Hobby Lobby Haul - February 2019
I found four new fairy houses at Hobby Lobby. They have great sale prices that allowed me to pick up these four houses for just over $20!
I have quite a bit of catching up to do due to the rain and my surgery but I'm off to a good start now.

Local Happenings: Fairy Garden Class Returns!
On Saturday, January 26th at 10am we will burst into the new year with some festive miniature gardens! The $10 entry fee will give you access to a small container, potting mix, bark, moss, plants and one small fairy (however, feel free to bring your own container, fairies and decor as well). On top of all that, My Fairy Folks who reserve their spot in advance will also be able to enjoy a light snack and refreshments. But that's not all! If you see something fairy garden related in the store that catches your eye, take 20% off that day!
We will personally be available until at least 12p when we'll host a raffle for some great prizes. To be entered into the raffle you need to follow these steps:
1. Be on our emailing list. If you'd like to sign up, please email grandmasefg@gmail.com with your first and last name.
2. Register for the class. To do this, you'll need to contact Ken at Sunshine Grower's Nursery via telephone 909-797-9210.
3. Have a friend register. Make sure they tell Ken YOU referred them. If you are able to grab a friend the day of who hasn't registered but is interested, that will work too but RSVP is preferred.
If you've never attended a class before, here are some beginner tips:
- Come early. I will be in the nursery at 9am to prep and answer any questions and there will be plenty of plants and decor to ogle at and gather ideas before the class begins.
- Bring items from home. If you already have a container or decor, feel free to bring them! Sometimes it's easier to create a fairy garden with things you already know you have and love.
- Pocket money. $10 is a great deal for everything included in this class, but you should also take advantage of the 20% off sale only available this day and only for class attendants! As you saw in the video above, they've got some amazing stuff and I only captured a percentage of it. Small plants are also included in this sale.

Plant and Decor Haul - October 2018
My most recent haul from Jo-Ann came out to around $40 total. I used a 20% off entire purchase coupon to add to my savings. Don't be ashamed to work those coupons!
All of this Fall harvest decor was on sale at 50% off.
This decorative yet simple pumpkin was on sale at 40% off.
A home for a gnome. This was the only item I purchased at regular price which allowed me to use a 50% off coupon.
This is my most recent Lowe's haul. Three strawberry plants were $3 each and the reason for this shopping trip. The rest of the haul was an impulse buy. I don't always know what I want to purchase prior to entering the doors - most of my decision is based on deals and sales (and the colors).
I picked up some yellow and red snapdragons for $1.38 each.
This Marigold came in a 4 pack at $2.49.
This is an Evening glow mirror plant, originally $16, purchased on super sale for $5. I plan to use it as a tree in one of my fairy gardens.

Plant and Decor Haul - September 2018
Look at all the wonderful fairy garden decor I picked up at Michael's at their 50% off sale! The fairy tale gate complete with crowned frogs, Strawberry house, and two magical castle's are all $7.50 each. The tiered container in the rear was only $20! I purchased a similar one in the past and love how easy it is to create a unique scene. The cobblestone and brick steps came out to $5.50. The princess was $4.00 (sorry for the bad angle, you'll see her in a future post soon). The gold banner says "happily every after" and goes perfect with all these fairy tale items, for the low price of $3.00. The wooden arbor comes complete with vines and mushrooms for only $5.00!
I'm especially thrilled about this find. This strawberry fairy home was originally $15, which is already a great price, but at 50% off it was a steal! With the addition of a few batteries, the windows will illuminate and be a warm addition to an evening scene.
This post is a two-in-one haul review! I spent around $25 at Home Depot for these new additions.
I purchased two beautiful mums, less than $2 each.
This Celosia 'Intenz' is drought tolerant. I purchased two for just under $4 each.
These two yellow Tickseed plants cost just under $8.
This six pack of sedum ground cover was under $3 total. This particular growth is nicknamed 'Tokyo Sun'.

Local Happenings: Green Scene Expo 2018
Two weeks ago I took a day trip to Fullerton, CA with my good friend to an event we've attended for a few years now. The event was on Saturday and Sunday but we decided to get there as soon as they opened to the public Saturday for an entry fee of $8 which includes parking. Already at 10am the place was packed with people! The event has been pretty popular every year I attend.
The event is held every year at the Fullerton Arboretum which is a lovely setting with manmade ponds and waterfall (pictured above). Below are some pictures from vendors.
I found these plants to be so unique but did not purchase one.
Looking through my photos, I regret greatly not purchasing this grapevine-looking succulent. It would have been perfect for my vineyard scene I have planned. Well, there's always next year.
These plants have a pop of color that almost look photoshopped! The bright pink and purple could be used for lots of great scenes, including Spring and Mardi Gras.
One of the plants I purchased on this trip was this colorful bunch of peppers. Purple, Yellow and Orange peppers will brighten the food garden portion of my yard. While it is a pepper plant, the card specifically says they are not meant for consumption. Be sure to read all instructions on any plants you purchase.
This cucumber plant was purchased for my food garden, making it the 5th type for my garden. My granddaughter likes cucumbers so I tried to plant some from seeds earlier this year but it didn't take. So I decided to find a variety of cucumber plants to put in my food garden.
Have you ever seen a purple bell pepper? This was my first time seeing it and I decided that I needed to add it to my food garden. Purple is a magical color and this pepper is said to transition through four different colors!
On the way out of the succulent maze, there are many booths at the end of the event that you will want to save some money for. The Fullerton Garden Club has been there every year I've gone and they have so many wonderful plants for sale.
This adorable planter and healthy succulents are priced at only $10!
These ceramic mushrooms caught my attention, designed by a member of the Fullerton Garden Club.
Each container is priced very well for the amount of succulents they pack in there!
I found these garden markers for sale at another booth. There are so many creative people at this event!
Fairy Garden doors for sale! This cute basket had a fantastical door as well as some small decorations to accent the magical feel.
This fairy home comes with lovely outdoor seating to enjoy a lovely, sunny day.
This vendor sold some unique Driftwood Creations (which is also their namesake). Owner Tim Shea and his wife were there to answer my questions about their art.
This particular piece is one I plan on purchasing. Their contact information is 714-875-5509 or Tim.Shea@hotmail.com
This vendor has taken an artistic approach to "what makes something a planter?" The following three pictures are from the same vendor.
This little buggy container makes you feel like it is housing some precious cargo. The chicken planter is the perfect size for the small succulent inside.
A small Radio Flyer is home to these succulents. I can just imagine them racing downhill.
This was definitely an eye catching display, both with color and function.
Gano Studios had a large display of ceramic containers. So many unique shapes and styles.
If you would like to contact Jenny and Jason Gano, I was able to grab their information.

Compared to the prices in the main area of the event, these succulents are a steal, especially with some interesting containers.
One booth had some air plants for sale and I managed to pick up a few.
It really is amazing what people can turn into a planter! I'm so happy I was able to attend this year and already can't wait for next year's event!
