Creating a Fairy Garden

Fairy Gardens:
Inviting fairies into your home and garden can be a great project to undertake by yourself or with children. You can make it as simple or elaborate as you wish. If you have a yard you can start simple by adding a fairy door to the bottom of a tree or collecting items like stones, twigs, small branches, moss and bark and styling them into a small dwelling hidden in a protected place. (For great inspirational ideas check out our books Fairy Houses Everywhere, and Fairy Houses and Beyond by Barry and Tracy Kane in our Books & Videos Department.) You can plant flowers around it to attract the wee folk. Even if you do not have a yard you can create a small garden indoors in a planter using Irish moss and small houseplants. Try adding a small mirror surrounded by pebbles to make a little pond. Check out our fairy garden furniture in our Fairy Garden Furniture & Houses Department to find a wide variety of tables, chairs, benches and much more - all scaled just right to make the wee folk feel right at home.
