Events - Fairy Home Builders (At Home Project)
Activity Instructions
Help us prepare for our Spring Enchantment Installation of Fairy Homes and Creature Dwellings! Each spring, fairies move into the gardens to help welcome in the new season. They are seeking shelter in our gardens and need a dwelling to call home. Help us by building the base of a new home for our garden fairies.
Builders will construct only the base of a fairy home by creating a sturdy, weather-resistant, sustainable base that will later be creatively transformed during a public workshop.
This is a take home project. The time you select on the link below will be the time you come to pick up your kit. You will then work on your kit at home and return your creation to the gardens by January 15, 2026.

Requirements
No power tools are required for this activity. All building supplies will be provided, but manual tools like hammers and screw drivers may be required for some kits. Please be careful as you create these bases!
