“When building the fairy garden of your childhood dreams, it heals your soul and fills her world with magic,” Shannel wrote in the video’s overlay text. In a comment to the video, TikTok user @kimboslice240 related to what she said. “Building mine has healed a part of me I didn’t know needed love,” they wrote in the comment.
Footage shared by Shannel displayed a mesmerizing garden setting dotted and punctuated with lovely candy pops and bright colors. Laid out on the garden grass, the pops of colors came from clusters of tiny ball-shaped fairy lights, a super-cute pink-and-tawny barbie house, little huts, teeny mushrooms, itty-bitty glitter balls, ribbon-wrapped leaves, fantasy-style tangled grasses, fairy and butterfly sculptures, shimmery leaves, multi-colored mushroom houses, red tassels dangling from plants, an ornamental frame that spelled the sign “Fairy garden,” and sprinklings of little white pebbles. “This is the perfect fairy garden,” said @molly.
In a comment, Shannel revealed that the soil and all the plants she bought for her fairy garden were real. In another video, a mom and homemaker, Bek (@bekmarsden) added several potted planters containing colorful ferns, including blueberries and daisies. She highlighted the planters by outlining each with circles and spirals carved with colorful pebbles, zigzagging toy fences, toy bridges, and even signboards advertising street names such as “blueberry lane” and “strawberry street.” At the end of a long circular lane, a sign read, “Fairies are welcome.”
Later frames of Shannel’s video revealed that this dreamy fairy garden was set up inside a raised bed created on the garden floor amidst a grove of trees. A little girl, likely Shannel’s daughter, came running towards the fairy garden to explore each ornament. On the other hand, Bek designed her fairy garden in a black-colored raised bed planter that she set up in a corner of her house’s indoor space. “Forget about the fairies, I want to live there,” commented @ani4pn.
