Designing your Fairy Garden



A fairy garden is more than just fairy-friendly wildflowers and an offering of milk or honey. The garden needs to be eco-friendly, organic, and preferably at least part-wild, with lots of hiding places for the fairies to play in.

You also need to get used to allowing and even encouraging insects and other "pests" into your garden, as this will put you in good stead with the fey. So think damp, dark places and rotting logs! The more birds, butterflies and bees you have, the better!

But don't forget, this also includes everything from spiders and ants to pigeons and magpies, so if there are certain creepy crawlies that you really can't stand, or need to keep away from your vegetables, then make sure you deal with them organically and humanely. The fairies will thank you for trying!
