I have made fairy gardens with my kids before, and this time I decided on a garden for a friend. The beach theme was for someone who loves visiting Cape Cod.
I decided on half beach and half succulent garden.
For the beach portion, I used:
~ Adirondack chair set with table
~ white picket fence
~ beach sand
~ beach umbrella
~ blue glass (for “water”)
I did place the sand on top of some plastic, to prevent it from mixing too much with the dirt.
I thought the chairs were a cute set, since my friend goes with her boyfriend of many years to the beach. We also bought an assortment of mini shells to sprinkle on the beach and placed a starfish on the table.
For the succulent part of the garden, I used:
~ potting soil
~ a variety of three small succulents
~ a portion of picket fence leftover
~ a “Crab Shack” sign
You can, of course, situate your garden however you like!

This is such a cute idea! I can’t wait for summer days. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
This is really cute! I’ve been thinking about doing my own fairy garden, but haven’t done it yet. I really like this half beach, half garden idea.
This is really cute! I’m planning on building a fairy garden with my boys this year.
So cute! I love the blue glass.
How fun, I really loved the way the beach with shacks turned out to be. Would love to replicate the same with my sun and have some beaching fun:)
I’m planning on creating a beach scene for my Fairy Garden in a birdbath. Your idea with both beach and succulent is great. When making a succulent garden, would I have to drill holes in the birdbath (it’s heavy duty plastic) in order for excess rain water to go through?
I would definitely make sure you have good drainage for succulents. You want the soil to be able to dry out in between waterings. I guess it depends too if you are in a warmer climate or if the birdbath is outdoors. That’s such a neat idea!
I love how cute this white picket fence and chair is! Thanks for sharing, will make something like this soon ❤️
Wow, how sweet is this! I have a son but would it be wrong if I did this with him? He is not into fairies, but this sure is pretty! Great idea for a fun day with toddlers!
This is so adorable! I would have never thought about this idea!! Can’t wait to try this out!
This is the cutest little fairy garden, I love the beach theme! This is definitely something my kids would enjoy doing. I am going to have to plan some out now! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
