Fairy Gardening 2013-2014 Catalog by Michell's

I have a confession. For nearly 15 years, I’ve believed in fairies! In 1999, I purchased Rabbit Shadow Greenhouse in Loveland, Colorado and almost immediately began selling fairy gardens. I quickly fell in love with the clientele they attracted and the profits these tiny sensations generated. A few years later, I also fell in love with my wife, Emily, and after several months (and now years) of watching sales climb, she joined me in my belief in the power of Fairy Gardening®. Since then, we’ve launched Fairy Gardening, Inc. and have been thrilled to discover customers from coast to coast are declaring their love for fairies as well. From growers who believe in the quick turnaround times and fantastic profit margins of Fairy Flowers® to retailers who are ecstatic to have added an entirely new product category to their mix, vendors just can’t stop singing the praises of Fairy Gardening®. And end-users are crooning a similar tune. From 60-somethings who are hosting Friends Who Fairy Garden™ parties to mothers who are passing along their love of gardening to their children, shoppers cannot get enough of this wonderful hobby. Today we invite you to join the Fairy Gardening® family, expand your offering and increase your sales year-round. Emily and I are looking forward to making you a believer as well! Sincerely,

The plants in the Fairy Flowers速 line have been selected because they naturally stay small or can be trimmed to stay tiny. These flowers thrive as outdoor plants in the height of your growing season and as indoor plants the remainder of the year. With proper pruning and care, Fairy Flowers速 are designed to flourish in small spaces indefinitely. Each plant comes with a beautiful tag that introduces gardeners to both the fairy and the flower he or she has created. With custom art and unique stories on each tag, the fairies and their flowers are so sweet; your customers will want to get to know each and every one.
