Books in the Garden One of the easiest ways to turn your miniature garden into a book-centric space is to invite some wee readers into the fairy garden.

No matter the style of your garden, there is a studious garden friend who will fit in just fine. You can incorporate these reading friends into your miniature garden as-is, or “go the extra mile” with theming. This might look like adding a Micro Yellow School Bus and other education-themed miniature accessories for a back-to-school garden, or building a reading nook with miniature pillows, twinkling lights, and other cozy miniature accessories.
