SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN OUTDOOR FAIRY GARDEN

I live in Zone 5.

The fairy garden is assembled indoors and attached to two plastic garage floor tiles my husband painted green. The tiles were cut to fit the shape of the outdoor space.

I experimented with the layout a few times before finalizing it. Here is a picture of one of my dry run attempts.

Next, I secured most of the components of the fairy garden to the tiles using outdoor silicone adhesive. Below is an aerial view of the assembled garden; anything outside the green tiles is arranged directly in the garden. 

After that, we moved the entire setup onto a board and transported it outdoors. We made last-minute touch-ups and plantings in the garden. The fairy garden is located in a raised bed to keep deer and other critters away. It has been outside for a few weeks, withstood rain and strong winds. The plan is to move the tiles and all the attachments indoors and store them in the garage during the winter months.
