A fairy garden for my favorite tree
Last fall in Carey's previous group, we connected with nature/plant spirits. I connected with the Catawba tree in my front yard. He shared his name and had a few comments and requests. One one of the requests was to have my kids build a fairy garden at the bottom of his trunk. Last weekend, my daughter and I stopped at a local garden store and got a door and path and my husband found a fairy garden kit for each kid, too. Today, we hung the door, cleared a little space, added sand and mulch and the little path. The kids build their fairy garden boxes. My daughter put hers next to the door and path. My son put his under the silver maple in the middle of our yard. It was a fun afternoon and my daughter is especially excited to see if any fairies come to live on our tree.
