bumping
We have an awkward little corner of our garden about 4 square feet between planter boxes (containing mints), a concrete stone retaining wall, and including one of our apple trees, which has a broken branch, and hopefully soon a nice hollow in the trunk.
Been planning to make a fairy garden there for a while. We made a stepping stone with glow-in-the-dark marbles and a quote from Shakespeare on it, for the fairies to dance on. I want to do lots of other stepping stones, since I want it to be ok for toddlers to crawl around in.
Now we're thinking about plants for between the stones. Thanks for the link, OP, great suggestions. I think low-growing herbs are the right idea. I have a couple of extra herb plants to transplant from my regular herb garden. Anything we put there has to be sturdy and cold-hardy.
Would love any suggestions for making this spot particularly attractive to fairies and small children alike.
