The Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township has a long history of fairy inhabitants. Since it was built in 1891, as a summer home for the Frelinghuysen family by Scotsman James McPherson, garden fairies have resided there.
Families are invited to the Frelinghuysen’s Sylvan Terrace to build homes for these ephemeral visitors. Summon the fairies with music and fairy snacks and learn which plants and trees will attract them to your own backyard. All supplies – bark, branches, lichens, mosses, feathers, stones and leaves – will be provided, or bring your own as long as they’re natural. All the fairy houses will be on display through the end of July.
To see photos of previous Fairy Houses or to get ideas for your own house visit www.arboretumfriends.org.
