If you are looking for a family garden project that is fun, cute, and easy even for the youngest kids, building a fairy garden could be in your future!  From The Magic Onions,

Make sure the plants you choose all like the same amount of sun and water. If you are going to be using moss, remember that moss likes sun to part shade and lots of water… choose other plants that like the same. If you are going for a desert garden look, pebbles, rocks and various cacti look wonderful, but do make sure that too many prickles won’t deter your little ones from playing in their magical creation.

This is a superb idea – a great way to build a lovely focal point for your yard and a good way to bond with your family.
