There are a lot of garden centers where you can get your fairy on, now that teeny-tiny garden accents are available all over the land. But the best place to browse and buy fairy garden accessories remains Tonkadale, the Minnetonka garden center that first started marketing the magic several years ago. There's an oh-so-charming display garden to inspire you and captivate the kiddies. And if you want to unleash the fairies in your own back yard, you'll also find all the supplies you could possibly wish for, from wee gazing balls on thumb-sized pedestals to $350 fairy mansions. Tonkadale even stocks fairy houses in different architectural styles, along with diminutive arbors, pergolas and covered bridges, plus miniature plants, and, of course, plenty of fairy figurines. 3739 Tonkawood Rd., Minnetonka; 952-938-6480, tonkadale.com
