Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A two-year-old's vision for a magical garden has transformed a patch of yard into a whimsical, thriving space. In a TikTok video, the toddler's mother, Sadie Callisonn, shared the journey that began three months ago when her daughter Edie declared she wanted a "fairy garden". What ensued was months of dedication to the project. Callisonn, 28, spoke to Newsweek about the work her daughter poured into the project, and how the results went beyond everyone's expectations. "Three months ago, our two-year-old announced she wanted a fairy many requests to trips to the garden center, we realized she was taking it seriously," she captioned the video. "It's not perfect, it's messy and wild, but it's beautiful and completely handcrafted by our little green-thumbed fairy girl." Photos from Sadie Callisonn's TIkTok video of her daughter, Edie.

"While the sale of our house was going through, Edie would spend so long looking at pictures of gardens, as we had told her she would have her very own garden soon," she said. "When she saw the empty space, she immediately said she wanted to grow her own fairy garden." The initial reaction was one of amusement and gentle encouragement, but Edie's commitment quickly became apparent. "We bought a couple of packs of seeds and a few pots, and we thought she would do what most kids do and play with it for five minutes, and move onto the next thing," Callisonn said. "Over the next few weeks, she would come home from nursery and ask every single day to go out and water her plants." As the weeks passed, Edie's parents took her to shop for small gnomes and fairy ornaments to add to her project. It was a learning curve for Edie to understand the time a garden takes to grow, but once she did, she tended to her work even more lovingly. "It took a while to explain to her that things didn't grow over night, but once she understood that, she would watch over her plants and takes so much care and love over them," Callisonn added. "She picked out tiny plants, arranged pebbles and insisted on adding fairy figurines 'so they have somewhere to live.'" @sadiewcx Wait till the end for some fairy magic ✨🧚🏼🪴👩🏼🌾 - 3 months ago she told us she wanted a fairy garden and we thought it'd be a 5 minute wonder.. but ever since every single seed, bulb and plant has been lovingly planted and watered by our little green thumbed fairy girl herself 🫶🏻🤍 #garden #gardensoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok ♬ Love You - The Free Design 'Melted My Heart' Watching Edie's imagination flourish through nature has been a profound experience for Callisonn. "In a world full of technology, it is so rewarding as a parent to have your child actively interested in nature and being outdoors," she said. "She has an amazing imagination and talks to all of the bugs and 'fairies,' and it is amazing to watch her develop not only her gardening skills but also patience with waiting for her plants to grow." The once-empty patch has undergone a remarkable transformation. What started as an "empty compost heap" is now brimming with flowers, fruits and vegetables—and all because of Edie's dream. "It looks so wild and beautiful, and we are so so proud of her," Callisonn said. "Watching my two-year-old get excited about gardening was one of those moments that just melted my her imagination come to life in that little patch of garden—completely her own creation—was pure magic. "Her fairy garden might be small, but the happiness and wonder it brought us both is huge."

(Also Read: Yash offers prayers at Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple, performs aarti ahead of Ramayana shoot. Watch) Narasimha collaborated with a graphic designer turned AI technician called Nuthan to bring his vision to life. The 95-minute Kannada film has even been certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), signalling a milestone for AI-generated films in India. The two-member duo designed everything from the cast to the soundtrack and visuals, including drone shots. Thirty different AI tools were used to complete Love You in six months on a budget of ₹10 lakh, most of which was spent on software licensing. Narasimha spoke to TOI and stated that he wanted to make the 'world's first AI feature film and release it' in theatres. His plan is to screen it on just one screen to set a record. The film has 12 original songs and AI-generated dialogues, though he contributed to the lyrics and dialogues. Despite his claim, Love You is not the world's first AI-generated movie, with Where The Robots Grow having already been released in 2024. Talking about how the CBFC reacted, he told them, 'Even the regional censor officer pointed out inconsistencies in the characters' features from scene to scene. Creating emotional expressions was a challenge, and lip-syncing is far from ideal.' However, the board was impressed by the 'film's ambition and innovation'. Nuthan stated that AI technology was developing so fast, the current tools are far advanced than what they used, 'The tools we used are already six months old. If we recreated the same film today, it would be a thousand times better.' Narasimha already has two more AI-generated projects based on Bengaluru's founder, Kempe Gowda, and historical figure Immadi Pulikeshi in the works.
