Join Life and Whim and The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park for an afternoon of fairy fun on the Fairy Trails!
Come see all the new unique, artful fairy houses on the Fairy Trails at the Botanic Garden, lovingly made by people in the community!
Check out Heather Harrington’s artwork and note card collection at the Pavilion.
Kids can enjoy making a simple craft with Heather, along with a glass of lemonade and a cookie, provided by the Botanic Garden, as you stroll through the gardens and take in the trails!
