    Moss is very good for fairy gardens, It does not flower but is pretty and fitting. Also Vinca Minor. It grows well in shade or sun and comes back every year. It has small purple flowers and lots of greenery. It spreads, so you might need to cut it back every year. My sister has a lot of evergreens, and some stumps. She puts a pointed roof on the stumps to make houses out of them.

    Make a raised area to take any plants as flowers won't grow where pine needles are and they do need light.. Best to stick with going with nature. Add some fairy Homes and Toadstools - maybe Solar lights - Create an area that fairies would love to live A pond ( Flower pot saucer) or a natural Stepped waterfall (sink containers in to hold the water) If you do your best to attract them, I'm sure it wont be long before they find it and move right on in.......

    Use red mulch and colorful fairy products. Plant different colors of hostas they grow under pine trees. Good luck

    Hi there, many flowers thrive in acidic soils and require full shade and partial shade. These include Bleeding Heart, Astilbe, Fox Glove, Bergenia, Camellia, Hosta, Lyrope, and Lily of the Valley. Plant the flowers away from the roots of the trees or make the bed from landscaping wood, edge stones, or other edging. For fairy gardens, the Creeping Dogwood thrives in acidic soil and she's a lovely groundcover. You can also try the American wintergreen. She has beautiful scarlet berries in Winter and small bell-shaped white flowers in Summer. She grows slowly too.
