Welcome Fairies To Your Garden






Developing a Fairy Garden requires a sense of fantasy, imagination, and intuition. Find a shady place in your garden where fairies may which to live. Purchase or make small mushrooms to make a fairy circle and put moss in side the circle. Add fairy statues and figurines to scatter among the garden plants and flowers. I put my fairies among a variety of hostas and colorful bogonias. If you want a sunny fairy garden use plants such as a Fairy Rose, Foxglove, blue Brunnera, Baby's Breath and other small flowering plants.To add to the natural surroundings put small animals or repitiles such as frogs, butterflies, dragon flies etc. Add a fairy reflection ball large or small. Also add magical creatures such as dragons, unicorns, pegasus etc. For fairy homes use natural materials such as basket weave containers, bark, or commerical fairy homes. For food I added two fairies drinking tea sitting in a ceramic flower and/or eating food off small fairy dishes. Add miniature plastic fruit and vegetables that you can purchase in a hobby store where they sell doll house collections and miniatures. To attract fairies to your garden, sit in front of your Fairy Garden and mediate. In your mind's eye visualize fairies coming to your garden. Welcome them. Ask how you can help maintain the garden so that every living creature and plant be part of an ecosystem that is free of chemicals. Find that balance in the environment that is healthy and encourages organic gardening methods.

Interacting with flowers
Sense their behaviors.

Ecosystemic garden
All life is welcome.

Fairies add beauty
Encouraging plants to grow
Invite them to come.
