'A GUIDE FOR ATTRACTING FAERIES TO YOUR GARDEN'
Many plants will attracted butterflies, hummingbirds & faeries - Some of the gardens favorites of the faeries are bee balm, sunflowers, honeysuckle, fernleaf, yarrow, summer lilac, red valerian, daisies, cosmos, rosemary, thyme, purple coneflower, pincushin, scabiosa, fresh lavender & heliotrope, nasturtiums, pansies, snapdragons, blue columbine, foxgloves, and there are many more undoubtedly that you can use.  You can use what works best in your own gardens too. Another way I have found that helps your garden in attracting faeries -  Is attracting your tiny friends with birdbaths, birdfeeders, hummingbird feeders too. You see the faeries are attracted to all the wild life, mostly the hummingbirds, butterflies and small birds.They seem to enjoy the same habitat as the butterflies, smaller birds, hummingbirds, even the honey bee's. All the planted flowers that I have stated above & the herbs, you will find another great attraction for the faeries - faeries love the sights and sounds of the water & flowers. Consider adding a small fountain, waterfall or even a fishpond in your garden. Garden Art statues of faeries will also attract the wee ones. Shiny windchimes, gazing globes and colorful garden flags with bright shiny colors in them. All these things can help you entice gnomes , elves & faeries to come into your garden. 



~Don't forget that the wee ones(the faeries) are nature loving and enjoy their fun. Plan to leave part of your garden a bit unkempt. This small area will make fairies feel welcome. It doesn't have to be a very large space, but having this one little space will give joy to your fairy friends-


~More fairy's favorite plants & flowers~
Fairy's Favorite Plants & Flowers-
ROSES-
Fairies love roses for their smell & beauty. If you would like to make fairies welcome - plant roses in your garden & burn rose oil around your patio.

BLUEBELLS- 
Bluebells are loved by the fairies as well. Fairies often use the flowers to adorn their horses. Don't pick the bluebells or step on them. A field of blue bells may have much faery enchantment.

WILLOWS-
The willow is a tree with a distinct personality . It can be heard weeping at night, but most commonly, it uproots and follow lone travelers at night. There are also fairy  spirits that live in these trees.

ELDERS-
The Elder trees is a sacred tree to the fairies, along with the Ash, Holly & the Oak. It is said that this tree is the protector  of water spirits.
The Oak tree - Look for Oak groves, as fairies tend to love the Oak Tree *the most*.  If you find a Oak Tree.   The old Oak forest- you just might find a portal hole in the base of one of these grand trees. And find yourself in another world.
ASH-
This is a lovely tree that the faeries often use for wands- It has healing qualities too.
FAERY RING MUSHROOM-
Fairies dance all night long & in the morning, rings of mushrooms maybe seen. They are the boundaries of the dancing circle. Be careful not to step inside the circle , as you might enter the fairy Realm and you'll be stuck there for ever. 
FAERY FOOD-
YOU SHOULD LEAVE FOOD OUT FOR THE FAIRIES AS  A OFFERING  & GIFTS. IN SOME COUNTRIES, THE LOCAL FAERIES,, WILL BECOME ANGRY IF FOOD IS NOT LEFT AND THEY WILL CURSE THE HOME. IF MILK IS SPILLED YOU SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. JUST THINK  IT IS AN OFFERING FOR THE FAIRIES, - THEY DON'T WORRY ABOUT SUCH THINGS- AT LEAST HERE IN THE US. 
FAERIE KIN-
Faerie kin can be divided into numerous classes or races. Faerie is a term for many different beings usually possessing strong magical powers. Many fairies have a human form but some have a animal  form too. They use these forms even now.
THE REALM OF FAERIE-













Where is the faerie realm? It is position is elusive. It is sometimes just over the horizon and sometimes beneath our feet! Yet there have been periods when faerie were to be in a  actual geographical place, it a parallel world, although even this has tended to shift a times. For instance, the Welsh first though it was to the north of their mountains, that had a faerie. And then in the mysterious rocky and misty west peninsular of Pembrokeshire coast. Later it moved to an island lying in the Irish channel of the Pembrokeshire coast. It was seen sometimes by sailors, & even landed on but would then disconcertingly and disappear. never the less, its Fae inhabitants were said to be frequent visitors to the markets of Laugharne and Milford Haven Avalon is probably the most famous of Fae islands.

    ~The final step in attracting faeries to come to your garden is very simple. Ask them to come to your garden. If you give conscious energy to this event, it will happen. And most of all BELIEVE.
