Fairy garden scale.

Welcome back to our miniature gardening beginner series. Keep your plantings in scale with your fairy garden by growing foliage plants like peperomia small leaved ivies weeping fig dwarf mondo grass clubmoss dwarf ferns succulents and dwarf grasses. Just in case you are just joining us here are the previous lessons to get you caught up. Miniature garden accessories are different from fairy garden accessories in scale quality and workmanship.

It s the realism that creates the magic not the fairies. Find the right fairy garden houses to furnish the outside of your dollhouse garden in both 1 12 scale and 1 24 scale miniatures. In addition to miniature patio furniture a tiny trellis complements the fairy garden. The most common is 1 12 or 1 scale which means one inch in your miniatures is the equivalent of one foot in the real world.

Most real life doors are 7 5 feet high so the scale of a 3 75 doorway would be 1 24 or some may call it half sized. Measure the doorway of the fairy houses to determine the scale. How do you use this scale when planning a fairy garden. The size of 1 24 is smaller than 1 12 so this scale works well for container mini gardens.

Like model railroads fairy gardens come in many scales. Other common scales include 1 24 or 1 2 scale 1 2 inch is the equivalent of a foot and 1 48 or 1 4 scale which means 1 4 inch is the equivalent of a foot.
