How to Make a Fairy Garden for Children
Okay, so I've talked a lot about fairies and attracting them to a fairy garden. But what about those of you who just want to make a garden for your kids to play in? Don't worry, I've lots of tips for you too! Having worked with children in the past I know how passionate they can be about the environment, and this is the perfect opportunity to teach them more about it. If you make a children's fairy garden for your kids, you'll have the chance to:

Working with Fairies
Today I want to go back to the topic of seeing fairies. Aside from the sheer delight of knowing there are fairies in your garden, once you learn how to experience fairies, you can work with them to bring harmony, protection and good fortune to your household. But don't go rushing into this... fairies are wary of humans and will only choose to work with you if you have already taken the time and effort to prove to them the following:
- You respect them (and their privacy)
- You respect nature
- You work hard to protect the planet
- You have joy, love and laughter in your heart
- You love Mother Earth and your garden unconditionally!

Types of Garden Fairies
Before I talk more about how to see fairies in the garden, I ought to perhaps explain who the garden fairies actually are!
You may well be thinking "flower fairies" at this point, but there are more to garden fairies than pretty little winged girls floating about!
There are elementals, tree spirits, flower fairies, elves and gnomes to name but a few. Want to know more? Then read this informative lens:

How to See Fairies
As I mentioned yesterday, one of the most common questions I get asked in response to my fairy writings is "how to see fairies". Now, this is not a question with a straightforward answer, as there is much to explain about the nature of fairies and how they appear. But in this post I will begin to tell you how to see fairies in the garden, as this is an excellent place to start.
First of all, here are two articles that give an introduction to seeing and working with the Faerie Realm:
An Introduction to Working with Faeries
How to Attract Faeries into Your Home
Now, as to the fairies. They exist on the astral plane (the above articles explain this further) and consequently cannot generally be seen with the physical eye. They do, on occasion, make themselves appear to humans, but this is rare. It is more common for those who work with fairies to "see" them with the third eye, or mind's eye, through the power of clairvoyance. Have a read of this article to understand how this works:
How to Communicate with Spirits
One of the best ways to develop a link with the fairies is to sit quietly in your garden, or a secluded spot in nature, and meditate upon communicating with them. Sit by water or under an old tree. Don't force anything and have patience - it can take time to open up the mind to seeing, hearing or experiencing fairies.
The garden is a good place to do this because it means you can work on this regularly - every day if possible. Don't expect a fairy to appear right in front of you - their presence is much more subtle! You might receive an image in your mind of a fairy creature. If it doesn't look anything like you expected, that's a good sign - it means the image is flowing into your mind naturally, and is not being conjured up by your imagination! You might hear whispers or random words, or become aware of a sudden heat or cold. It is a good idea to write down your experiences in a journal so that you can refer back to previous encounters.
Of course, there is much more to explain about looking for fairies, but for now, if you want to learn more, I suggest taking a look at How to See Fairies in the Garden.
More from me tomorrow!

Once you have chosen your initial design, you will undoubtedly be thinking...
- What flowers do I plant?

Fairies are fiercely protective of the natural world, so anything you do to help protect Mother Nature will bring fairies into your garden in leaps and bounds, as they will be delighted to have found a human who is kind to the planet. Organic gardening, helping wildlife, feeding the birds and not using pesticides all help to attract fairies in abundance.
If you want to know more, I recommend reading the advice on the page How to Attract Fairies to your Garden. This is an excellent resource and will give you lots of ideas.
Something I get asked about a lot is how to see fairies. Tomorrow, I will explain more on this topic!
