Fairy Nice Time at Oma's Barn Last Night


If you are limited in time and space and are overloaded with imagination and the need to unwind perhaps you might want to experiment with whimsy gardening, with a focus on fairies and fantasy! 

Considered “current” with this younger generation, this old way to play is a new hot trend in gardening.

I am so glad these little gardens are catching on finally with the customers at Oma’s Barn.  I was pleased last night to share my interest in miniatures, gardening and fantasy with some interested shoppers.  We are planning another get together in a few weeks and more fun!

Like their namesake, fairy gardens are typically small. Think of them as the marriage of a table top garden and a dollhouse.  For me it was an inexpensive outlet for my overactive imagination and a play style I could share with my children with just a shallow dish, and a few small toys. 

 My fairy gardening eventually carried over to special time with my nephew Sam and grandson Patrick, and now….I look forward to sharing playtime some day with my next grand baby….who is, I am excited to announce is on the way! So last night I finished the class with a tiny garden with a baby fairy theme.  Congrats to Greg and Kristin!  I can hardly wait!
