Are flower fairies real?
The answer to whether flower fairies are real or not depends on who you ask.
Many people believe that flower fairies exist. These tiny creatures are thought to be mystical or spiritual beings that inhabit the realm between the heavens and the earth.
Flower fairies are thought to be protectors of the earth and responsible for the beautiful colors and sweet fragrance of flowers.
Some refer to them as nature spirits. If you wonder why you have never seen one —the answer is simple. Fairies only appear to those who believe in the power of their magic.

Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame! William Butler Yeats
"When I was a really young child, I felt like I could see fairies. I was convinced there were fairies in my grandmother's garden." Noel Fielding
How do you see fairies?
According to fairylore, only those who believe in fairies have the ability to see them.
But, if you are the doubting kind, or aren't quite sure if you should believe in fairies there are some things you can do to improve your chances of seeing them.
- Look for fairies in the early morning before the dew dries, at sunset when the sun casts soft shadows across the earth, or in the light of the moon.
- Choose a quiet and serene area near flowers and ferns or in a mossy area. Sudden movements and loud noises may frighten fairies away.
- Sit quietly while taking several deep, cleansing breaths.
- Close your eyes and say "I believe in fairies" several times as you breathe in and out. This will calm your mind and body and set your intention to observe fairies in the garden.
- Soften your gaze and simply observe the garden. Watch for flashes of light, fluttering movements, or glimpses of things not quite see. These are often the first signs of fairies.
Don't worry if you don't see fairies with your first efforts as you may not be ready to accept seeing the seemingly invisible, yet. Relax and try again the following day. As you practice you will become more receptive to seeing fairies.
It may also take fairies a few days to build trust and feel comfortable revealing themselves to you.
How do you attract fairies to your garden?
Fairies are attracted to tiny houses made from natural materials like twigs, stones, and moss.
To attract fairies to your garden you will need to provide them with a safe, sheltered area. A fairy house made from natural stones and twigs will help set the stage.
Tuck the fairy house under trees or shrubs or settle it into a secluded nook where fairies can gather without being disturbed.
Plant flowers that are known to attract fairies in the garden, if you can. If that isn't possible, try big pots of flowers. While there are some flowers fairies seem to prefer, keep in mind that like people, all fairies are different, and will likely visit your garden as long as you provide a variety of flowers for them to enjoy.
