Because it&#8217;s a shallow container, it will dry out faster. On the flip side, be careful that you don&#8217;t let your kids drown the garden (as mine are apt to do). If it gets overwatered, give it an extra day or two to dry out, and it should be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/88AEFCDB-D34D-4E08-BA03-26D59C4B66F3-857x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Prehistoric Dinosaur Mini Garden Tutorial | Fairy gardening container gardening gardening with kids DIY project #gardening #fairygarden #boymom\" class=\"wp-image-4192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/88AEFCDB-D34D-4E08-BA03-26D59C4B66F3.jpeg 857w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/88AEFCDB-D34D-4E08-BA03-26D59C4B66F3-251x300.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/88AEFCDB-D34D-4E08-BA03-26D59C4B66F3-768x918.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/neverdonewithfun.com\/staging\/5228\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/88AEFCDB-D34D-4E08-BA03-26D59C4B66F3-50x60.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope your future paleontologists will enjoy helping you care for this little garden as much as mine do &#8212; and I hope it doesn&#8217;t drive you as crazy as it does me when your kids have epic dinosaur battles within the container garden, thus destroying your carefully thought-out, historically accurate dinosaur configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your own prehistoric creations on social media with #NeverDoneWithFun and tag @neverdonewithfun to be featured in my Stories!
