How to choose a fairy garden fence

When a fairy walks through your winter container garden, what will she see? Are there dozens of miniature plants spreading out of the ground? Are there convenient ways - maybe it even leads to a fairy cottage? Perhaps, if she is lucky, the visiting fairy will find signposts and twinkling lights that will show her the way. These are just a few of the details that will make your winter container garden a little more fun.

Let me be clear. My own fairy garden could be a wild place! Miniature accessories and winter flowering plants above the genomes are lost in the tower, the pixie forest. But when it comes time to clean up my winter container garden and prepare it for hot weather, I think adding a few fences can help add to the overall look. Then whether I divide my garden into specific parts or just try to keep the trolls out of the Velji patch, some extra legs of fencing can come in handy. Read on for my favorite types of garden fences and how to use them all year round to your advantage.

1) White picket fence

When we think of vegetable gardens, family homes and exotic neighborhoods, this excellent fence style always comes to mind. It’s easy to go overboard with white picket fencing, though. That’s why I reserve this type of fence for one or two fairy cottage front yards. When it comes to bright white color and pointed tops it goes a little long way.

DIY Tip: Create your own white packet fence using popsicle sticks, white string, white paint and kraft glue.

2) Twig fans

In some winter container gardens it is DIY, it has a handy look. And others have a magical, made-up-fairy-hand look! It doesn’t matter what style you’re going for, you can achieve it with a rustic, branch-like fence. This fence may be store-bought, but even though it looks like the garden fairies cut off a few winter plants and secured its branches with cotton or fairy glue.

DIY Tip: Build your own rustic fence using hot glue and resurfaced twigs.

3) Rusty fence

This type of fence screams "old English garden." You can expect to be in a secret hiding place for fairies, pixies and other garden friends in the garden hidden behind an uncomfortable tin fence. When walking in these gardens, which are often equipped with tea tables and chairs, be careful not to take a walk on any of the wandering vines, but stop smelling the roses.

4) Black wire fence

Install a black wire fence in your winter container garden, and you will have a very beautiful, ugly miniature garden on the block! During the autumn months, black wire fences and gates give the fairy garden a dark and mysterious style. DIY Tip: Build your own black wire fence using coated black kraft wire and pliers.

5) Fence with flare

Fences can tighten the style and create more small gardens, but it doesn’t make it boring! Consider decorating your fence with twinkling lights for the night garden, evergreen garlands during the holiday season, and wax flowers in early spring. You can try to catch a bird at the top of the fence or change the paths and gates that provide direction. The fence shouldn't make you "think in the fence". Fences can open up a whole new world of possibilities for miniature gardens when placed thoughtfully.
