Need some inspiration to start your fairy house? Join us for an hour of fairy fun! We’ll begin with a brief foraging walk through the woods to collect some materials, followed by a demonstration of different types of simple fairy houses, and a tutorial to help you get started. Then you’ll have the opportunity to begin construction of your house, with staff on-site to guide you.
The Preserve will provide glue guns, a base for your construction and some natural accents. All guests should bring a shape/structure for their house. This can be a large log, tree stump, piece of driftwood, etc., or recycled materials such as a 2L soda bottle, milk carton, a jar, vase, flower pot, etc.
