Fairy Houses in the Gardens
(all ages, under 18 with adult)
Help the Deep Cut Fairies welcome autumn by creating
tiny fairy houses out of natural materials collected at
the park. After a story for inspiration, and a review of
fairy building codes, we will go outdoors to build. Bring
your imagination, a blanket for relaxing outdoors, and
any natural found objects (bark, pebbles, shells) you
would like to include in your creation. Take home some
tips on creating your own fairy garden.
