| Who wouldn�t want to attract fairies into their yard? A fairy garden should contain a house as well as an abundance of flora. A small fairy house should be built from found items such as sticks, shells, tree bark and leaves. Never take these items without asking as it will offend the fairies greatly and shows them great disrespect! You might also want to include a nice shiny mirror or some brass chimes in your garden area, as the fairies love these things very much.
Another wonderful and thoughtful addition to a fairy garden is a water source. A simple saucer filled with water will suffice or you could offer something more elaborate such as a fountain. Whatever you do, make sure the water is kept clean. Otherwise you will end up attracting Dark Fairies instead of the bright ones!
