We finished planting the faerie garden. Now all we have to do is wait and see if any faeries visit!
UPDATE! Faeries have been sighted in the garden! There are faery homes and definite trails of faery dust under the hostas! THe chilldren and their friends have been building shelters with sticks and leaves and hunting for clues in the vicinity. One never knows where they might appear next!

I want a faerie garden too! How do we make one?
We chose a quiet spot in the garden and outlined a natural shape. We then chose flowers that we thought the faeries would like. Hostas provide a safe place for them to rest and stay hidden. Little rock paths, a miniature water bath, a faerie tent fashioned out of leaves and sticks....let your imagination guide you. We purchased some annuals for a splash of color, but mostly transplanted cuttings from other spots in our yard. Little faerie gifts could be left there- small cups of tea, or walnut shells for their beds. My daughter weaves sticks, petals and leaves into "outfits" for them to wear and we leave them in the garden. To our surprise, they are always gone the next day, leaving a trail of faerie dust!
