But today, let’s go back to the fundamentals and explore the basic fairy gardening tools and must haves that you’ll need to build and maintain your fairy garden.
One of the most handy tools you’ll ever need in the garden is a trowel. It’s versatile and has several uses in the garden. It can be used to dig up holes, transplant plants, and remove weeds.

Whenever you’re gardening with plants with pots and other fairy garden plants, you’ll need some potting mix. This potting soil is organically sourced and features Myco-Tone, a water-saving formula for improved moisture retention. Just make sure that your plants require moisture, as different plants thrive better in well-draining soil.
