  Welcome to my Fairy garden! On this page you will find all sorts of information to attract fairies to your garden!! Attracting Faeries To Your Garden Create a garden that is conductive to all life. Put up birdhouses, birdbaths and bird feeders, bat houses and hummingbird feeders. Plant flowers and plants that are attractive to bees and butterflies. Faeries are attracted to any place where there are butterflies. Put nuts out for the squirrels. Whatever you do to bring life to your garden will bring faeries as well. Here is a short list of plants that attract beautiful butterflies and faeries to your garden: Achillea millefolium (common yarrow) Aster novi-belgii (New York aster) Chrysanthemum maximum (shasta daisy) Coreopsis grandiflora/verticillata (coreopsis) Agastache occidentalis (western giant hyssop or horsemint) Lavendula dentata (French lavender) Rosemarinus officinalis (rosemary) Thymus (thyme) Buddleia alternifolia (fountain butterfly bush) Buddleia davidii (orange-eye butterfly bush, summer lilac) Potentilla fruitiosa (shrubby cinquefoil) Petunia hybrida (common garden petunia) Verbena (verbenas, vervains) Scabiosa caucasica (pincushion flowers) Cosmos bipinnatus (cosmos) Zinnia elegans (common zinnia) Install a small fountain or waterfall or put in a fishpond. You might want to include statues of faeries. Anything that reflects light or is colourful and moving particularly attracts the gnomes and elves. Both faeries and water sprites like the splashy sound and sight of a fountain. Leave an area of your garden a bit wild and not too cultivated. Faeries. It need not be a large space, but having one area that is dedicated to the faeries will make them feel very welcome. Ask faeries and elves to come to your garden. "Where Intention goes, energy flows." Whatever you place your conscious awareness on, you will pull into your life. As you put your attention on faeries and gnomes and the elemental realm, they will respond by being drawn into your garden. Plant a night garden to attract nocturnal creatures such as bats, owls and crickets. For a night garden, alba or white flowers are used because their iridescent colour will stand out in the twilight and evening darkness. Include noctiflora, flowers that bloom only at night. Especially helpful in a night garden are flowers that have a strong sweet smell particularly at night, such as Nicotiana affinism, tobacco plant, Mirabilis jalapa, four o'clock flowers, Hesperis matronalis (alba variety available) or dame's violet or sweet rocket. Faeries and Lunar Correspondence
BLUEBELL Constancy and Kindness Bluebells are also known as wood hyacinths, and as Cuckoo's Boots, Crowtoes and Endymion (after the woodland lover of Diana, the goddess of hunting). The Scottish name for the plant is Deadman's Bells, for to hear the ring of a bluebell is to hear one's death knell. Fairies are summoned to their midnight revels by the ringing of these tiny flowers, which are reported to be the most potent of all fairy flora. Legend has it that children who venture into bluebell glades will be held captive, while adults will be pixie- led, until met by another mortal and led out.
