Answer 1

A faery garden is a garden that is intended to attract faeries. Whatever you do to bring life to your garden will also bring faeries.  For example, plant flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This will also attract the faeries. Put up hummingbird feeders, bird feeders, bird baths, and bird houses. Small fountains, ponds, faery statues, or waterfalls are all good.  Put some precious and semi-precious stones in your garden (and actually bury some of the stones in the garden) because the stones of the earth, even the rocks and pebbles, are alive with spirit, and their heartbeat can be sensed by the wise and the knowing. Spirits of great beauty dwell within the inner world of precious stones, and the place where they are buried will produce harbors of peace and goodness, where flowers will grow and absorb special vibrations from the crystals. (Later when you cut the flowers and bring them into your home, the flowers will impart their spirit, strengthened by the abundant graces which precious stones enshrine, into your home. As you bury the stones, say : "Spirits in these stones, Shine forth amidst Earth's soil and bones; Let your essence bless these flowers That their hues might wear your powers.'"

Here's a short list of plants that attract faeries to your garden:

Common yarrow

New York aster

Shasta daisy

Western giant hyssop or horsemint

French lavender

Rosemary

Thyme

Fountain butterfly bus

Orange-eye butterfly bush

Common zinnia

Cone Flowers

Bee Balm

Faeries also love the following plants and trees:

foxglove, primrose, ragwort, cowslips, pansies, bluebells, clover, St. John's wort, hazel, rowan, blackthorn, oak, willow, elder, birch, alder, apple, ash, and white cedar.
