Super Simple Fairy Gardens: A Kids' Guide to Gardening


Super Simple Fairy Gardens is exactly that--super simple.  I enjoyed the bright colors and inspiration on the pages. The author separates these into indoor and outdoor gardens. Tools, safety information, pot tips, and care tips are included. Instructions, including supply lists and a step-by-step guide, are available for 3 different fairy gardens. There are also a few directions for a fairy house, clay gnome, or bench. A glossary is also included. 




I might use this a reference book for a program on fairy gardens, yet really find it too basic for most purposes. It does have some basic instructions for basic gardens which may be helpful to some people. I would leave a lot more freedom for fairy garden building personally, though enjoyed some of the ideas.
