I got this info from www.fairyamber.com How To Make A Fairy Garden
How to make a fairy garden and what kinds of flowers fairies like.
Making a fairy garden that will attract fairies and their winged friends is easy and does not have to take a lot of space. You can plan a traditional garden in the yard, a row of flowers along a garden wall or have a patio fairy garden.
Fairies and butterflies love flowers with nectar and brightly colored blooms. They seem to prefer the "cottage style" fairy garden with lots of different kinds of flowers to choose from. It is not important to have a "neat and tidy" fairy garden. Fairies and butterflies will find shelter in a hollow stump or in a clay pot turned on its side under on cold and rainy days. Fairies love to sun their little wings, so it is good to place flat sunning stones among the blooms. A sunny spot, protected from the wind will make a nice sanctuary for fairies and butterflies.
Native flowers are always a good choice for a fairy garden. A combination of wildflowers, native grasses and green house flowers will help to keep your garden or patio pots lovely throughout the year. When designing your fairy garden, use large splashes of color with the smaller flowers tucked in among the edges. If you are planning a patio garden, use several different sizes and heights of pots grouped together. When watering your fairy garden, it is best to soak from the bottom rather than with a sprayer. Sprinklers will wash off the nectar that fairies, butterflies and hummingbirds love!
A shallow saucer with a sunning rock in the middle can serve as a bird bath for visiting birdie friends in your fairy garden. You can use a traditional bird bath or the bottom saucer from a large flower pot. It is also important not to use insecticides! The natural approach is always better.
Planting flowers that fairies like is not hard and there are many to choose from!
