Summer is here, the fairies are back, and they need a place to stay! Join Environmental Educator Melanie Ziolecki as we build our own fairy gardens. We will hike the trails to gather decorative materials and visit our resident fairy house before creating our gardens with trinkets, garden stones, and flower seeds. You will be able to take this garden home and watch the flowers grow tall over the fairies, as if they were whimsical trees.
