Fairy Home Workshop

Foraged Fairy Home Workshop

The Fairy Forest at The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park has captivated our community for years. Have you ever wanted to add to the magic by building your own fairy house, dwarf domicile, or gnome home? In this interactive workshop, Matthew Ross the Executive Director of The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park will lead participants in the development of these magical structures with materials foraged from the grounds of The Botanic Garden and a few additional whimsical elements.

Participants will go home with their very own structure and are encouraged to bring them back to The Botanic Garden on June 7th as we celebrate the Fairy Festival! Houses worked on during the workshop do not have to fit this year's theme, but are encouraged to do so for the Fairy Fest!

This year’s Fun Fairy House Competition invites you to imagine Crafted by Hand: Celebrating the Arts and Cultures of America! Step into a charming, hands-on exploration of the traditional crafts and trades that have shaped our country. Picture tiny weaving looms, candle-making fairy huts, quilting cabins, blacksmith shops, pottery studios, and woodcarving cottages — miniature spaces where creativity, skill, and imagination come alive.

All materials will be provided. Workshop cost of $10 for supplies.
