10 Things That Will Draw Fairies into Your Yard

Fairies are nature spirits: conscious beings that inhabit all the many and varied expressions of the natural world.

If you’d like to infuse your yard with their whimsy, wildness, and magic, here are ten things that will do just that.

Hummingbirds are fairy creatures themselves, and fairies attract more fairies.

2. A Bird Bath

Once fairies discover your bird bath, they’ll have a hard time staying away – particularly during the hot summer months.

3. A Gazing Ball

Fairies adore shiny things. And spherical shiny things (like gazing balls) are like fairy kryptonite.

4. Wind Chimes

Melodic wind chimes (and also bells) make a sound that fairies can’t resist. Extra credit if they’re shiny or otherwise catch the light.

5. Libations in Walnut Shells

Fairies love to party! Throw the fairy party of the year in your yard by offering them beer or champagne, using walnut shells as cups.

6. Crystals

Many fairies consider colorful, shiny, or sparkly crystals to be precious treasures indeed.

7. A Fairy House

Find an adorable little fairy house and place it at the base of a tree. Or, make your own!

8. Fairy Garden Art

Decorating your yard with a fairy statue or fairy flag sends a clear message: fairies welcome here.

9. Flowers

Where there are flowers, there are fairies. Flowers with a particular affinity for fairies include lilacs, bluebells, vervain, foxglove, yarrow, daisies, violets, and pansies.

10. Whimsical Lighting

Fairies simply cannot abide harsh lighting. So be sure to light your yard with things like twinkle lights, flickering solar torch lights, colored floral solar lights, or really any whimsical lighting scheme that makes you feel like you’re in fairyland.
