I love my new fairy gardens and I get so many compliments on them.  Kids and adults think they are great.  I added some miniature live trees and ferns to complete the look.  I purchased blue glass beads to simulate water, it shows up nicely.  I used sheet moss from the craft store which didn't hold up to the squirrels very well. Next year I will try my hand at adding real moss.  It's very shaded in this section of the garden so moss should do fine.  The tree the door is on is a 40' fir tree.  When the deer ate my begonia in the pot in my path I had to improvise so I created another fairy garden there too. Enjoy!
