Fill small amount of soil in a pot and place the large potsherd as a wall in the middle. Now you need to decide which plants you need to plant. You can plant bonsai, flower plants and succulents in it. Choosing right plants is important because, in miniature garden, plants must be in scale otherwise it looks awkward.

Take out plants from pot, break root ball and plant them in desired places. Cover with soil and moss. Also, plant some moss between the gaps of stairs to hide soil. Decorate your fairy garden with miniature house and furniture.
