A Little Fairy Controversy
Some of us can be a little opinionated when it comes to our creative endeavors. Even in the cheerful, sunny world of Fairy Gardening there is dissention at times. I know of one group, for example, that gets bent out of shape about the true meaning of Miniature Gardening and what qualifies as an authentic miniature plant. They look down their noses at all the Fairy nonsense as they create beautiful, proper miniature landscapes and lay perfectly even rows of tiny pavers. On the

Fairy Gardens, Kids and Great Adventures
Garden centers all over America provide many wonderful opportunities for us to attend classes and workshops about Fairy Gardens and Miniature Gardens. We can learn the fundamentals of Miniature Gardening, design basics, miniature plant and succulent care, and so much more. I’m a believer that Fairies, Gardening and Kids just naturally go together. I’m not saying Miniature Gardening is not an adult hobby, because I’m completely obsessed and can’t get enough. However, building

Thinking About Spring?
I know I am! Thinking and hoping Spring comes soon! It’s not too soon to be planning for outdoor miniature gardens. Of course, you can plant indoors anytime. That’s my favorite part about Fairy Gardens. Well, one of my favorite parts. I’ve located an article I’d like to share with you from Better Homes and Gardens about great plants for miniature gardens, including a bit about their care and preferences. I hope you find it helpful. Click on the link or the photo. Enjoy! htt

Fall In The Fairy Garden
Alright. These are not fairies. But they are delightful. And they are some of my favorite people. And looking oh so adorably Fall-ish. Anyway... I have a good reason for talking about Fall, even though it is hardly Fall in the Smokies. It still feels like Summer. I found this great DIY from Espoma for a Fall Fairy Garden and it talks about a product I've never heard of, but I am definitely going to be using.

Pink is My Signature Color
And it’s kind of a given that Fairies prefer pink… So naturally I found the following article most interesting. It was written for Mothers Day, so I’m a day late and a dollar short, as usual. Still, it’s good info for those who like pink, and succulents, and fairies, and MOTHERS! Pink Succulents Mom Will Love Jourdancole May 9, 2017 With Mother’s Day right around the corner, you’re probably getting ready to shower your mom with love! But, deciding what to get mom gets harde

Happy Places
So, when not relaxing in your garden... This looks like a really nice alternative. It's calling my name for sure. I don't even see any sand and I want to be there. Wow. Thirty-second pause while I stare wistfully. Have a wonderful day, dear friends, and wishes for a fabulous weekend from Just Gardens Supplies and Just Mini Gardens! #Fairy #Garden #Gardening #GoodMorning #Lake #Photo #Relax #Vacay

The Making of a Mushroom
We've been spending a lot of time in the evening and on weekends creating mini garden accessories for our shoppe. This is fun and relaxing for us, and we would much rather be crafting than all the other things we should be doing. My mini mushrooms are made of clay, and they start out looking like this. They have to dry for 24 hours. The next evening, we paint. Red is the most popular, but I love turquoise and I feature turquoise in many of my fairy gardens. They aren't spo

Feeling Special
This is the brand new 2018 Sevierville Visitors Guide. Some time ago, area businesses were asked to submit photos of handmade items for consideration for a page about locally crafted wares. Our shoppe does have quite a few handmade mini garden accessories. There's even a special little tag and stamp for them! Anyway, our photo was turned in and we sort of forgot about it. Well, guess what!?!? We were chosen! I don't know about you, but this is totally an honor to me. I f

Fairy Friday!
This little fairy happens to be the cutest fairy I’ve ever met. My very favorite. One thing about him is, he loves to twirl. He also likes to frolic and scamper. It’s what fairies do when they’re not flitting. Or sleeping. Or eating cookies. My girls love to twirl and dance, and my granddaughter twirls with me. It’s a natural expression of happiness, I suppose. Fairies know… twirl a little this weekend! #Dance #FairyGarden #Miniature #Garden #Fairy #MiniatureGarden #

Life Truths
Ok, so this isn’t about Mini Gardens, and it’s a stretch to be related to gardens at all. But it is SO typical for one-half of the team here at Just Gardens Supplies. The other half, of course, creates fabulous fresh salads (it isn’t me). Have a great week! #Plants #Gardening #LifeTruths #Foodie #Miniature #Garden #MiniGarden #MiniatureGarden #MiniatureGarden #SaladIsAPlant

So Much Change (all good)
The entrance to our new building. Our New Shoppe We told you way last summer that we were going to be moving. SO MUCH has happened between then and now! It’s just the two of us running this business, so when things get crazy, we really have to scramble. But, the remodeling and moving is done, and we’re pretty well settled in. We have some projects to do outside when Spring arrives, such as a beautiful outdoor patio area and something to make our entrance warm and inviting

Always Leave Room for Fairies
Those in the know (i.e. Len) would tell you this is a weed. Not exactly a garden. But my fairies are friendly and adaptable, and with the soil in East Tennessee they take what they can get. Besides. I like them. Daisies are the friendliest flowers. That’s a movie quote friends. There’s a free bottle of Fairy Dust for a lucky winner if you get it right in the comments and follow us!* Happy Friday everyone! *winner chosen at random #FairyGarden #EastTennessee #Miniature #
