If the Fairy Garden Box will fit on the lanai, it would be perfectly permissible and sounds adorable. If you plant things that will fit under eaves (in the back of the house to make folks happy) or in your lanai, all seems to be well. The issue seems to be with ground boxes for a full garden, a garden in the back, side or (gasp) front rather than lawn or chicken wire to protect plants.
I have several friends who are avid gardeners. They all have found ways to have their garden, just in different ways (container veggies, flowers rather than edible items, etc.). I think your wife will find many happy ways to plant and grow things here (and some definite new challenges in coping with our "soil" and weather).
