Most People Have No Idea There's A Fairy Garden Hiding In Massachusetts And It's Magical
Each year, a particular patch of beautiful forest in Massachusetts comes alive with the enchanting sights and sounds of fairy magic. If you’re in the know, you can visit with these delightful creatures and glimpse their tiny homes at this fairy garden in Massachusetts.
The Fairy Gnome Discovery Walk is one of the most whimsical events in the state. Read on to learn more about this enchanting opportunity to explore an (almost) real fairy garden. You’ll want to pack your bags and head for a visit immediately.


Many of the tiny homes are hiding behind shrubs or tucked away in clearings, while others are built into the very trees and stumps of the forest. Miniature underthings hang on little clotheslines, wee dinner tables are set with fairy-sized plates and treats, and small gardens are filled with a variety of enchanted crops. The homes truly look as if they were built by fairies and gnomes out of whatever woodland scraps they could scrounge up.


In addition to the stroll through the enchanted woods, the event will have Tracy Kane reading from her Fairy House series in the woods. Theater in the Open will be performing improv amongst the trees, professional photographers will be capturing priceless moments, free kids' crafts will be available and plenty of vendors will be on-site selling delicious fairy treats and unique gift items.

This is an absolutely magical event for fairy lovers of all ages! Head to Pettengill Farm at 45 Ferry Road in Salisbury, Massachusetts this spring. The event will be held rain or shine and there is a small admission fee.
