My Fairy Garden

 I heard fairy gardens are very popular this year. “What’s a fairy garden,” I asked?

 They are, or so I hear,

 large container gardens decorated with tiny lawn furniture and trinkets, small plants and vines,

 As a place where the tiny creatures might like to hang out on summer nights. Being an essentially hospitable person, I decided to make a fairy garden for my porch.

I chose an abandoned bird’s nest as a more natural bed for a fairy .

  I gathered some plants with tiny blooms and leaves and some stuff that fairies might like furniture wise or as lawn ornaments, like sea shells, polished stones, and beach glass.

 A tinsy variegated ivy

If the rumor is true, fairies will come at night and lounge around in my fairy garden

 and leave me gifts like gold coins, fifty-cent pieces, and other treats.

 I planted a white moon vine that blooms only in the dark of night 

and gives off a sickly-sweet scent to draw special moths. 

I think the fairies will be awestruck!
