Trolls - Get Dancin'!!

Trolls® get you dancing from the moment the movie starts so we thought a Trolls Dance Party Magic Garden really hit the right chord – disco ball and all. We converted a blooming sidewalk planter into the Troll’s secret hideout. The long rope ladder down the front of the planter invites those walking by to enjoy the secret Troll party. You got this party started with some sunshine in your pocket.

Make the Magic Garden

  • How about a Troll Tree?
  • Should we include the Bergens?
