Getting started - Garden in a container


No need for a green thumb or any extraordinary artistic ability! You can go to inspiration gallery for some ideas.

Start with a container to plant in or a spot in your landscape that you would like to add the wonderful world of fairy gardens and miniature landscapes. We offer fairy garden and miniature landscape kits as well as all the amenities that will allow you to create beautiful scenery in your home, yard, office and other places. 

Containers - This can be as simple as a low pot, or basket with a liner, or more imaginative containers can be a wheelbarrow, drawer, crate, stone trough, or a birdbath. The important thing is that the container you choose has drainage.

Soil - It is best to use a peat based potting soil (rather than garden soil or dirt from the yard) such as our Weetrees Mix that incorporates amendments that provide nutrients, water retaining granules, and adequate drainage.

WeePlants - The plants that we carry are available in pots. The WeeTrees plants are chosen for their small proportioned leaves and limited height. The WeeCover plants and WeeShrubs plants offer a variety of textures and colors, our WeeVines are vigorous enough to wind their way up various arbors and supports but controllable to stay in bounds. Add to these some WeeGrass plants, and some WeeHostas.

WeePeeps - To ensure that your fairy garden isn't a lonely place, you may want to add some fairies, gnomes, or other inhabitants.

Surface Features - Add stone and pebbles to represent a pathway or water in a stream or pond. Signs and topiaries can also be added to spice up your fairy garden.

Garden Accents - Fencing to contain your garden, gazebos and arbors for height and for a place for vines to grow are the next step in furnishing your garden. Speaking of furnishing, we offer a large selection of garden furniture at affordable prices.

The Garden Shed - Pots, tools, birdbaths help to create a realistic garden feel.
