It's winter! Haven't you noticed with the 65 degree days and the non-freezing evenings? Not a typical winter, that is for sure! Even still we have limited our hours in February to prepare for a big spring. We are planning several workshop and new product spaces. We are alway available to open the shop by appointment if necessary.
Who knew 10 ladies could have so much fun making their very own fairy gardens? Here are a few of the gardens that were painstakingly put together.
Many different elements were used to create homes and habitats for their special fairies. Caves, lean-tos, paths, secret places, hiding places, houses, and teepees, all for fairies! 
Some had plants, some had none, some had arbors made from rosemary, some were just moss paths and some had blankets to keep their fairies warm. But each was different and special to the fairies that will live there. 
We will do it again in February so call us for details. 
Simple fountain and concrete balls make this simple landscape inviting.
The Royal Gardens has just opened up a satelite space at Blacklion Dilworth. The new location of Blacklion is located on 1408-C East Boulevard (where the old Tally's Grocery used to be.) Come out and see us at either location.
We had so much fun (as you did too) with our workshops last spring that we thought we would do it again this fall. Call to save your space.
After the rain. After all the paths washed out. After cleaning all the sticks and branches out. We are still here. Just remember the rain is good for the crops and gardens.
The Echinacea likes it hot. It's one of the only perennial that likes to bloom strong this time of year. What's growing in your garden?
Sale 20% off everything! Wow! But only for a few more days. . .
Happy First Day of Summer! Things are quieting down around the shoppe. While you are vacationing, we are recieving new shipments of pots and fountains. So when you get back in town please stop by and take a look.
Shop locally and keep our schools, libraries, and roads open and good shape. For every $25 you spend in Charlotte, here's how much stays in Charlotte when you shop here at:
By adding the fence (to keep rowdy fairies contained) and a house (built by Nancy) this garden turned into a wonderful oasis.
Do you remember walking through your grandmother's garden and smelling the sweet hypnotic smell of roses? Marie Pavie (the Children's Rose, 1888), Old Blush, Madame Alfred Carriere (1879) are some of the over 500 varieties of Antique roses that are available. Some varieties have been around for over 200 years and they each have a story. (Wouldn't you have a story if you were around that long!)
