Glamping Fairy Garden with Donna

Thou shalt not covet your neighbor’s fairy garden. We’re pretty sure that’s written on a stone table somewhere. However, when we saw Donna Roy’s glamping themed fairy garden, created in a red Radio Flyer wagon no less, we decided if wanting it was wrong we don’t want to be right!

Donna was inspired to create her miniature camp ground by her friend Pat, who has fairy gardens of her own. Donna knew she wanted to make one for herself, and incorporate the things she loved. “Since I love camping and Glamping I decided to find small campers and do a trailer park. Living in East Tennessee and working fulltime I don't get the opportunity to camp as much as I want too. This project brings a smile to my face and lets me remember my friends I've made camping and keeps reminding me that another camping trip is on the way,” Donna told us.

Donna has great advice for anyone wanting to create their own miniature glamp ground, “My suggestion to anyone wanting to do a fairy garden is to think about what makes you happy and run with it. Just because it says "fairy" in the title" fairy gardens" doesn't mean you need little fairies. Use your imagination. God gave it to you and it's free. I'm looking forward to decorating my trailer park for Christmas already.”

Want to build your own Trailer Park Fairy Garden? ME TOO! Donna found items for her beach themed glamper fairy garden at Cracker Barrel, World Market, Hobby Lobby (don’t forget your coupon!), JoAnn’s and the Dollar Store. She included live plants in her garden, and suggests purchasing small container plants from a local greenhouse, ask for ones that require little maintenance.
