At home in a flower garden

Now summer is in full bloom. And wouldn’t you know it, fairies just love a flower garden! Their favorite plants include foxglove, bluebell, marigold, cowslip, snapdragon, and morning glory. You can attract them with ornaments that jingle or sparkle, too, such as wind chimes or suncatchers. Those big glass gazing balls are definite fairy magnets. All the better if your garden includes moving water, such as a fountain or sprinkler, and a place to hide, such as a ceramic “toad abode” or a rock pile. When you work outside, you can also sing:

Now I’ve made a sacred space,
Fairies welcome in this place.
I won’t peek, and I won’t tell.
You can stay here safe and well.
