How to Attract Fairies to your Garden | Bring Fairies into your Backyard!

How to Plant a Fairy Garden

Do you want to know how to attract fairies to your garden?

I love looking for fairies and have been blessed with the ability to commune with them for many years now. So when I moved into my own house, I was determined to create a beautiful fairy garden. I soon discovered, however, that there is more to making a fairy garden than simply planting pretty flowers and letting a small patch grow wild!

So, I learned how to choose the right flowers and make the right design choices, and now I have a beautiful garden that the fairies love. And because I work hard at tending my garden, the fae are happy and bless our home with good fortune and a little of their magic!

Plants for an Enchanted Garden

Sacred trees, native wildflowers and magical scented herbs are a great starting point for your garden. If a plant is attractive to wildlife then it will be attractive to fairies too! Use different flowers for different themes, seasons and areas of your yard.

Remember to tend your plants regularly, and make sure you use eco-friendly methods, preferably organic! Don't just throw weeds and fallen leaves away, make use of them in compost or mulch, and if you have to get rid of some pests, either use organic pesticides or even better, unleash an army of predators via biological control!

Offerings for the Fairies in your Garden

Once your garden is ready for fairies, there are a few extra enticements to help bring them out of their hiding places.

* Put out offerings, such as bread, milk, honey, cream, milk, mead or sweet treats

* Leave gifts, such as home baked cakes, handmade crafts or natural objects like crystals and shells

* Put out little houses and shelters for the fae to play in, or, if you're not creative, use small birdhouses

* Play enchanting music, or hang musical objects like windchimes. Fairies love sound and song!

Finally, laugh and play in your garden. After all, more than anything else, the fae love to have fun!
