Cute Herb Fairy Garden

I’ve always wanted to make our own fairy garden! Get your kids excited about planting flowers or growing their own fruits and veggies by welcoming the summer fairies with a Kitchen Herb Fairy Garden.

We love all things fairy and this simple herb fairy garden was the perfect addition to my new kitchen.

Do you think about the soil you use for your flower pots or garden? Well, you should. I am partnering with Ecoscraps today and love their story!

Ecoscraps was created by people who saw a better way to make soil, better for our gardens and better for our planet. They collect food waste from grocery stores and composts the waste into natural and organic garden soils and plant foods. How cool is that?

I’m so excited to share my Kitchen Herb Fairy Garden tutorial today. Let’s get to planting!

How to Make a Kitchen Fairy Garden

This tutorial for making a fairy garden for your kitchen is super easy and hopefully brings you some magical inspiration for a fun craft to do with your family or friends!

1. Decide on a Fairy Garden Theme

First of all, you want to decide on your fairy garden theme. Be sure to get the kids involved with this process. Shopping for fairy garden accessories is half of the fun!

Will it be a magical garden with a little house and swing set to welcome fairies each night? Or will you decide on a theme based on your favorite hobbies, toys, time period or animals?

I love chickens, so had to add a cute chicken coop to ours!

2. Choose Your Container

Since our herb fairy garden was for our kitchen, I chose a galvanized container that matched my kitchen decor. You can put a fairy garden in just about any kind of container, you don’t need to limit yourself to the usual terracotta flower pot.

3. Choose the Herbs

Think about what herbs you would use the most. I love adding fresh mint to my drinks, so mint was definitely on my list of herbs to buy. Because I make a lot of pasta dishes, oregano and basil were on my list as well. If you have a larger container, add some colorful flowering plants as well.

4. Choose the Soil

When growing any kind of food, such as herbs, it’s best to use organic potting soil.

5. Design Your Fairy Garden

Now that you have your accessories, container, herbs and soil, you are ready to start designing your magical fairy garden!

If using a container with no drain like I did, protect it by lining the container with plastic. Then add some rocks to the bottom before adding the soil. This will help the water drain and not drown your plants if you over-water them.

Fill your container with potting soil and add your favorite plants and flowers making sure to think of the scene you want to create as you plant. Add various heights and take note to leave space for plant growth.

Before planting herbs, loosen the soil at the bottom so the roots are exposed to the soil.
