Grogu and the Mandalorian Miniature Garden

Grogu may be the cutest thing that has ever happened to Disney. Seriously, I cannot help myself. Every time Baby Yoda is on screen or making little baby sounds during The Mandalorian episodes, I have to smile. When I decided to make a Star Wars fairy garden, choosing The Mandalorian and Grogu as the subjects was a no-brainer.

In most of my fairy gardens I like color. I decided to make this one a little different. I decided to skip the flowers and make the setting very woodsy. I just couldn’t see Mando with bright orange violas. Instead, I had a couple of great pieces of petrified wood I thought would make great mountains.

To add to the setting, I decided to use something I never have before in a miniature garden—a shrub. I found a slow- and low-growing variety of evergreen shrub that is perfect for a mountain forest. It gives the garden a very Colorado feel. 🙂 What do you think? I pruned off a couple of branches when I was planting it and felt like I had my own little bonsai. I’m crossing my fingers now that it stays small or at least can stay small with a good pruning and not overrun the pot before the end of the summer.

If you’d like to recreate this garden, just follow my lead.

Supplies for The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Fairy Garden

The Pot

I definitely recommend choosing your pot for your miniature garden after choosing your largest solid structure or plant. For more about this and other fairy garden how-tos, see How to Make a Simple Enchanted Fairy Garden.

Since the figurines I chose for this Star Wars Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Fairy Garden are on a small scale, you don’t need a particularly large pot. You should be able to find a pot this size reasonably piced. The pot I am using is actually one I’ve been using since I first started fairy gardening. I love buying quality and reusing my pots year after year!

Outside diameter of pot: 12.25 inches

Interior diameter: 11.25 inches

The Main Structure

The largest solid element in my Star Wars Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Fairy Garden is this beautiful chunk of petrified wood. My oldest son, TMann, helped an older couple prepare for a move one summer. They decided not to take the petrified wood with them and offered it to him. When he left home, I am the lucky mom who inherited it.

The Accessories

I have very few accessories for this garden. I kept it super simple with just the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. I pulled them from this Star Wars Mission Fleet Defend the Child Pack from Target and used the other characters in it in a coordinating miniature garden.

These toys are very lightweight and do not stand well on their own—especially not on uneven soil in a pot. I turned them into garden stakes by gluing 2.5-inch nails to their feet.

If you want larger scale action figures for your garden, this 9-piece Mandalorian Deluxe play set from Amazon looks like a good option.

The Plants

I only used three varieties of plant in this Mandalorian and Baby Yoda fairy garden:

• Juniper Blue Star – a tree-like needled shrub
• Dichondra – a trailing gray-green plant with round leaves that looks great in pots
• Veronica – a low-growing small-leaved ground cover to simulate grass

I found all of these at my local Home Depot. You may not be able to find exactly the same varieties of plants where you live. And definitely buy plants that grow well in your climate. If these particular plants are not available, just look for similar ones.

When choosing your plants, it’s a good idea to make sure the greens coordinate. These greens are in the blue-green and gray-green hues. Blue-green plants tend to work with any other greens. I just try to avoid putting gray-green plants and yellow-green plants together. I personally am not a fan of gray and yellow together.

The Finished Star Wars Mandalorian and Baby yoda Fairy Garden

Now that the pot, the main structure, the accessories, and the plants are all gathered, it’s time to put the garden together. For a complete walk-through of this process, see How to Make a Simple Enchanted Fairy Garden.

I guarantee any Star Wars lover would love this miniature garden in their yard. Here are a few additional photos just for fun.

Since I have a coordinating Star Wars Cara Dune and Stormtrooper Battle Fairy Garden, my son, GKatt, thought the two gardens needed to interact. He turned Mando and Grogu so they are involved in the battle. I love it when my kids get involved!

Have you made your own Star Wars Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Fairy Garden? What did you choose to put in it? Did you make yours similar to mine or did you choose other design elements? Adding Mando’s spaceship would be fun. Or Moff Gideon or a Stormtrooper to defend against. I’d love to see it! Send me a photo at lucinda@swishandstitch.com.

Enjoy!
