Luckily we had some dry weather at the weekend and I was able to continue with the fairy garden. The first thing to do was to raise the soil levels both inside and outside the edging, which I did with more of the compost and sand mixture and I also added some gravel (after watching Monty Don making some free draining compost).

I subdivided established plants from around the garden to use to fill the soil around the outside of the fencing, hopefully they will help to stabilise the soil and keep it in position as well as look attractive. The plants I used were grape hyacinth, lesser celandine, vinca minor and forget me not.

Finally I used sand to mark out the landscaping features that I would like to add to the garden. First I am going to have a stream that runs into a pond, then a garden path leading to a bridge over the stream and finally a patio area near the door and adjoining the path. These will be the next areas to work on before adding the planting.

Thanks for stopping by and checking on progress!
