DIY: Magical Ideas for Your Garden

Watch out Muggles – J. K. Rowling just released a new short story about the Hogwarts alumni on her site PotterMore.  You may not care much about further adventures of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the gang but it did get us thinking – how can you add a bit of magic to your garden.  Gardens are idea for a bit of whimsy and fantasy – and because it can be inexpensive its a great DIY project.

Here are few great ideas that we found on Pinterest.  If you haven’t you really should take a look at our collection of pins.
