Gnomes, dinosaurs and fairy princesses dont reside just in movies.
Increasingly, they can be found in backyards situated nicely in their very
own garden.
.
Fairy gardens (think miniature gardens with 6-inch high gourd- or
mushroom-shaped houses, decorated with small plants and tiny furniture)
are all the rage this spring, according to local garden centers.
.
The result can look like a scene out of The Hobbit or any make-believe
land where dwellings include tiny benches, bridges, fire pits and
mailboxes.
.

.
Popular plants, depending on if the garden will be kept inside or outside,
include Irish moss, creeping thyme, mini-conifers or evergreens and polka
dot house plants.
.
But heres the important thing: You do have to prune and clip the plants,
Elmore said. Because if its not small, it doesnt belong in a fairy garden.
.
Its not (a garden) to plant and leave ... it is something theyre going to
have to tend to, Elmore said. I think people are afraid to cut things back
and keep them small, but its really beneficial for the plant to prune
back.
.
Kathryn Derauf of Kleins Floral and Greenhouses on Madisons East
Washington Avenue, agrees people are afraid to trim their plants.
.
The plant knowledge is the hardest for people and thats what we try to go
over with them while were helping them, Derauf said of starting a
miniature garden.
.
While creating a fairy garden is popular with adults, gardening experts
say its also a great way to get children interested in plants and nature.
