There are many ways to have faery fun! But first, you must entice the faery folk to your garden. You can build a faery house to welcome the faeries to your garden. Planting some of their favorite flowers and greenery should also do the trick.

How to build a Faery Home
Faeries love all things from nature, so whenever possible make the frame of the faery house out of stone, wood, or other natural objects. You can use leaves, dried grass, sticks, moss for the walls and the roof. Try wrapping twigs together with a green stem or a long leaf. Decorate the house with flowers, colorful rocks, pebbles, acorns or crystals. You can even use some pretty jewelry for faeries love shinny and bright objects. Do not use paint, iron or nickel for the faeries do not like these substances. When you are finished place your faery house somewhere in your garden or in the flowerbeds. The faery house should almost be hidden because of the natural things you used to build it. Plant your favorite flowers and plants that will attract the kinds of faeries you like. Let the faeries know that this home is for them by calling out to them in a loving voice or perhaps a little song. You can also place some milk or honey cakes near the house to let them know you are their friend, but don't put out food if you're afraid of attracting unwanted animals. Your faery friends will surely feel welcomed with all the care, work and love you've put into their new home and will visit you often.

BLUEBELLS: Faeries are summoned to their midnight revels and dances by the ringing of these tiny flowers.

FERNS: Pixie faeries are especially fond of ferns. One story tells of a young woman who accidentally sat on a fern, and instantly a faery man appeared and forced her to promise to watch over his faery son and remain in Faeryland for a year and a day. Ferns make nice soft beds for the little guys.

FOXGLOVE: The name "foxglove" came from the words "folk's glove." Folks referred to little people, or faeries. One legend says that faeries gave the blossoms to foxes to wear as gloves so they would not get caught raiding the chicken coop. According to another legend, if you picked foxglove, you would offend the faeries. And if the faeries stole your baby, the juice of the foxglove would help to get it back. In some stories, foxglove appears as a faery's hat. Foxglove can sometimes heal and sometimes hurt. It is a poisonous plant, but it is also used as medicine to treat heart disease.
