Looking for a fun family craft this Spring Break? Each spring, children create fairy garden houses from all-natural materials to be entered into a contest and placed in the Park’s Fairy Garden for the season.

Join us Friday, June 13 at 11:30 AM immediately following Stories in the Garden for the judging of the Botanic Park’s Annual Fairy Garden House contest!  Entries are due in the Trillium House (located at the southwest corner of the Park) by Wednesday, June 11 at 3 PM.  The contest is open to children of all ages, but one builder must be under 12 years old. Click here to view Contest Rules and Guidelines and the Submission Form to be submitted with your house.

We look forward to seeing all your “magical” fairy houses! For inspiration and tips, consider checking out some Fairy House books from the YRBP book collection inside the Trillium House.
