What Are Fairy Garden Sculptures?

As the name implies, these are sculptures or statues that depict fairies in some way. It could be a statue of a fairy itself, or it could be a sculpture that includes other elements that are known to be shown alongside fairies. For example, it might be a small fairy house, a snail, other nature elements like flowers and plants, toadstools and other mushrooms, or water elements.

Garden fairy statues range in size and shape. They can be very small, or they can be tall and large. Again, it all depends on your preference and also what you plan to use it for. Let’s look at some reasons people get fairy statues for their gardens.

Why have a fairy in your garden?

The simple answer: because they are pretty.

Buying on Amazon

There are lots of great places to get garden statues, including from your local garden center. One thing that I like about shopping online is that you can take your time shopping and usually there is a much bigger selection than what you can find locally.

Remember that if you have Amazon Prime, you can also get many of these with free shipping that usually arrives in 2-3 business days.

What are fairy garden sculptures made of?

Most often they are made from weather-resistant resin that is designed to withstand the elements outdoors. Quality designer resin is made to hold up over many years of outdoor use.

Sometimes you can also see them made from stainless steel or other metal elements that are made for outdoor use. Many are made from natural materials which makes them perfect for the garden or landscape.

Taking care of your fairy garden sculptures

Once you have chosen the right sculpture or statue for your needs, it’s important to know how to care for them properly so that you can enjoy them for a very long time. Each fairy statue is unique in how it is made and how it should be cared for so to be absolutely certain you’re doing it correctly, you should read the care instructions that come with your item.

However, here are some general ideas to help with basic care:

1. If your statue gets debris on it, gently wipe it away with a cloth or spray it with a water hose.
2. If more is required, use a soft cloth or scrub brush and gently remove stains and dirt.
3. If soap is required, use a small amount of environmentally-friendly soap in a bucket of water and be sure to rinse thoroughly.

Now, let’s take a look at some ways to integrate these statues into your landscape design.

Fairy Garden Statues in Your Landscape

Here are some ways you can work these garden sculptures into your existing garden or landscape. First, consider the layout of your current garden. What types of flowers or plants does it have in it? Do they bloom year-round or seasonal? Where would you like to create a focal point or highlight a specific area of the garden?

Use on a garden wall

There are some types of fairy statues that you can attach to your garden wall. Or, depending on the type of wall, you might be able to use a fairy sitting statue to place on the top of your garden wall or fencing. When selecting your garden supplies, don’t forget an adorable fairy garden piece may be just what you need to add to your collection.

Use on the ground

Of course, you can also place your statues directly on the ground and most are designed for this. When doing so, it’s important to choose your location wisely. You want a place where they will be well-seen and will not become overgrown by plants, but also where they are not in the way of foot traffic.

Use on a window ledge

There are also some fairies that are made to sit cutely on a window ledge. You can use these in your house windows or in a garden shed window. You can also hang them near a bird feeder or another fairy garden statue that sits on the ground.
