About 5 years ago I had the opportunity to attend a modest seminar conducted by Beverly Turner at her nursery in Orange County, California. I knew then that this woman should write a book, and I'm so thrilled she finally did. A true pioneer of fairy gardens, Beverly is more than just a gardening expert. She is an accomplished actress, director and set designer as well, and she brings that sense of theater to each tiny garden. So much more than a collection of plants and props, each of her creations tells a story and draws people in. I saw many of her fairy gardens during my visit to her nursery, and each one is a wonder. A few tiny bunnies and an overturned teacup transform what could have been a static tea party set into a "naughty bunny tea party". An empty bench and a figure staring off in the distance speaks of a missing loved one. This beautifully illustrated book gives the reader all the tools necessary to tackle fairy gardening with confidence. In addition to sharing her artistry, Beverly provides clear instructions for creating your own miniature masterpiece. There are instructions about plant selection and construction techniques, but more than that, she teaches you how to create drama on a miniature scale. I heartily recommend this book to both novices and seasoned gardeners interested in exploring this magical, living art form.

What a delight to read this beautiful book about the enchanting world of fairy gardening. The authors are definitely well versed in the art of creating magical, miniature landscapes. This book is a complete reference for the novice and pro alike. From developing your theme, to choosing your plants, containers, and accessories, all is encompassed here. I love the "mini-tips" interspersed throughout the chapters. The exquisite photos are truly inspirational. This is a must have book for every gardeners library.
