Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to our show!

Josie and Debbie Fleur will present ‘The Fairy Garden’

 

The Fairy House

The Fairy House was made a few years ago and it’s looking a little tired.  The builders are due to return at some point, to carry out some renovations, including a new front door.

There is a ‘sheltered seating area’ with a backdrop of tall grasses to the right of the Fairy House with its own solar lighting.  (Apologies for the bucket, the gardeners were still busy working)

Bird Feeder

The berries are from a Pyracantha bush.  Caution was exercised when picking them to avoid the thorns.  They are not particularly poisonous but should not be eaten by humans but they are loved by birds and fairies.

Digging Area

Everyone needs an area to dig, even fairies.  (Being indicated here by Josie.)  Some tools have been left out for a Fairy in need of a digging session.
