Miniature & magical: The gardens you can grow in virtually any small space



MILWAUKEE -- Gardening season is here -- and if you're looking for a fun way to get started, we have it. Gardening expert Melinda Myers joins Real Milwaukee to talk about Fairy Gardens.

Where do you suggest placing fairy gardens in the landscape?
- These miniature gardens can be tucked under the shade of trees and shrubs, built on a bird bath or stump or planted in any size container.
- be sure to shelter your miniature garden from harsh weather, flooded soils, and wandering feet.

Creating Your Fairy Garden
- Properly Select a Shallow Container
- Add Potting Mix and Fertilizer -- preferred type and application
- Small Scale Plant Selection and Care Tips to Keep them looking good
- Fun Accessories to Include

On Sat., May 21 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Melinda will present a FREE 'Container Gardens - A Continually Growing Trend' seminar at Ebert's Greenhouse Village.
