Our Play Space: Creating a Magical Fairy & Gnome Play Garden

ByChristie Burnett

We have a magical Secret Garden in our backyard. My son and I put it together and are still adding to it. He has helped with planting plants and painting a fairy house, we have made a fairy beach, a gnomes house, a little swing and a ladder that goes to the gnomes lookout.

It is full of magical lights, gnomes, and castles. My son loves to play around with his gnomes and pretend a troll lives under the bridge or just swing in the tree and tell me made up stories of the mythical creatures who live there.
