If you thought that your garden (or porch or fire escape) couldn't get any more enchanted than a fairy garden [1], you thought wrong. Some creative gardeners are going a step beyond pixie dust and taking things under the sea, crafting their very own mermaid gardens.

Many of these mini mermaid havens are made complete by sea-glass pieces, shells, bits of dried coral, and even plants that look like underwater flora. Simply add a mermaid figurine or two, and Ariel herself will feel jealous! Get inspired to create your own siren sanctuary by checking out the gorgeous examples ahead.
