Minnies Magic Garden
Just down the path from Storybook Lane, is a
magical little
place known as Happy
Hollow.
Tiny gnome houses, filled with plump little gnomes,
are all
lined up in neat little rows.
Mushroom cottages, and their bright colors ,
sprinkle the
wooded woods, and are filled
with happy little pixies!
In one of these Happy Hollow cottages,
lives a sweet tiny
pixie girl. She is considered very special,
gifted even....Her name is MINNIE
You see, Minnie has a very special talent. She has
a green thumb.
Actually, Minnie has two green thumbs, and
everything Minnie touches..grows!
Ever since Minnie was just a wee pixie baby,
she could make things grow.
If Minnie threw a stick down on the ground,
it would soon grow into a beautiful tree!
.
Minnie loved flowers and plants for as long as she
could remember, and her dream
was to have her very own garden..a magic garden!
She began planning,
and planting. First she built a sweet
little picket fence, perfect to surround her garden.
gathered up her favorite planting tools,
her basket, the prettiest one ever, and her favorite
watering can! Minnies grandma had
given her the can when she was just a wee sprout
herself, and she always watered
everything with it! Grandma said Minnie had the
magic touch, and the water would
help her dream come true!
Minnie then made her very first yard ornament,
she took an old fence post, and a small
bird house she had built, and wrapped it in wire..not
quite she thought..it needs something!
Ahh yes, perfect, a small sign with her name! Now,
everyone will know, this is Minnies Garden!
e
Well, Minnie thought, I should really plant something!
What will be first? She noticed some tiny seedlings
she had planted were beginning to
come up. She though, "I will just pot these three,
and see what grows!
Sure enough, and in no time at all, she saw three
tiny faces! Wow Minnie thought, I have potted Pixies!
Then Minnie found a small bean pod she had placed
on her garden table, she wondered what the pod would
grow. She stuck her green thumb
in the dirt, and made a hole, she placed the pod in,
and covered it up, she sprinkled a little magic water
on it, and out popped a magic bean sprout Sprite!
Minnie saw two red ripe apples on the wagon,
and decided to try to plant the apple seeds. She watered
them, patted down the dirt...and nothing!
Then she remembered the green thumb, "better stick
it in for good measure"
she thought , and to her surprise, and joy, appeared
apple bottomed babies!
Right there in her garden..little fairy babies, with
tiny round, apple bottoms!
Minnie had sprinkled so many seeds, and
watered just about every inch of her magical little
garden, that she nearly forgot to check on
the vine she had transplanted. There, next to the
fence had bloomed tiny dancing fairies!
They were giggling at her! :)
Right beside the dancing fairies were
the snap dragons she
had sewn, and now they were little
Happy Snap Dragon blooms! :)
As Minnie looked around, her dream had
indeed came true. She had a magical,
and beautiful garden. A true one of a kind garden too!
She could only think of one last thing to plant
..she thought "maybe I will try my thumbs
at a melon patch". So she took one melon,
watered it, and placed it gently on top of a
mound of dirt, and waited..the next
morning Minnie was all smiles when she saw that
she now had grown her very own
Melon Patch Kids!!
Minnies dream had come true, she had
two green thumbs,
and the most beautiful,
magical garden ever!
I had so much fun creating Minnie,
and her accessories!
I Hope you enjoy this magical little story!
Minnie was inspired by my mother,
also named Minnie!
Just like my story, my mom can
put a stick in the
ground, and magically, it will grow
into something
beautiful! My mom recently gave
me this tiny
watering can, and said maybe
you can use this when you make
a little FaeWee*
Funny how sometimes the
smallest things
can provide such huge inspiration!
Thank you Mom,
Love Christel
