Event Details

Get in touch with the whimsical fluttering beat of the Fall season by creating a cute light-up fairy house.

 

Trivia fact: Modern day fairy gardens and the use of fairy houses in the US derived from the fascination with Japanese Bonsai gardens in the late 1800's. In the mid-1900's, British nursery owner Anne Ashberry had an idea to create small gardens that could be easily cared for by people who lived in small spaces or by individuals with physical impairments. The adoption of today's fairy theme has cultural ties to Germanic and Celtic folklore. It is believed that fairies like to live in nature (like gardens) and if you don't appeal to the good nature of fairies they could become quite mischievous. If you were able to create an enticing environment for fairies then it is believed that your gardens would thrive and they may even give you good luck.
