Fairy Garden Whimsy

Millbrook, IL 60536
If you are a Pinterest enthusiast, you’ve probably noticed the emerging garden trend of fairy gardening, tiny plantscapes decorated with tiny accessories. A Fairy Garden is a miniature garden that contains living plants, structures, and accessories. Designed to give your green thumb a place to ten year-round and to lure fairies and good luck to your home, plant lovers tend to these tiny spaces with love and nurturing. How to design them and what components to use are limited only by your imagination.


Are you a would-be gardener? Fairy gardening is an exciting inroad to gardening as it is an easy project to put together. Sometimes it is easy to put together a kit beforehand. It can be a premade or one that you put together yourself by visiting us! These items help create a beautiful dwelling for fairies and plants, including:
  • Box for planting
  • A lid that becomes a saucer
  • Soil
  • Arbor with bench
  • Birdbath
  • Wheelbarrow
  • Tiny pebbles 

Whether you are an enthusiast or merely wondering about the magic of fairy gardening, you’ve come to the right place. Winding Creek Nursery and Garden Center carries everything you need to build an inviting space of your fairy friends. Although fairies are tiny little creatures, you can create a garden as large as you like. We’ll help you put one together and you can experience the magic to make. In addition to the fairies, we carry gnomes, just in case you're feeling a little mischievous. We carry a wide variety of fairy garden accessories.
  • Fairies in various sizes and finishes
  • Gnomes
  • Glazed mushroom picks
  • Fairy trellises, furniture, and tiny garden accents
  • Pebbles and rocks
  • Mosses
  • Fairy garden plants (just the right size for terrariums, too)

Fairy gardening is not only for the lone gardener but also a family activity for everybody from a preschooler to mom and dad. Children are enchanted by the intricate details and the sheer wonderment of it.

Like any hobby, you can begin small and build in small increments over time. One popular way to make a garden is to start with a theme. Using these themes, this is a popular way to engage a reluctant reader, particularly smaller children that might be starting to learn to read.
