Step into a magical fairy land at Lakewold Gardens, where wonder and whimsy wait around every corner. This enchanting annual community event takes place on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14. Discover charming fairy houses, enjoy hands-on activities, and explore a weekend full of delight for all ages. Come wander, play, and find a little more wonder with every step.
There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
They often have a dance on summer nights;
The butterflies and bees make a lovely little breeze,
And the rabbits stand about and hold the lights.
-- From Fairies by Rose Fyleman, 1934
Do you believe in fairies? If you’ve ever strolled the grounds of Lakewold Gardens, this question may give you pause. How is it possible—without a little magic or pixie dust—for one place to possess such an abundance of beauty and wonder? If you listen closely, can you hear their giggles in the breeze? Or maybe spot a sign of their playful mischief?
While our horticultural team certainly deserves credit for stewarding the idyllic grounds on the shore of Gravelly Lake, Lakewold Gardens is committed to hosting a weekend each summer to honor the elusive sprites. So don your favorite fairy attire and come ready to play!
As you explore the gardens, you can enjoy a picnic on the lawn, search for hidden fairies among the foliage, and make a tiny fairy door to place in your home garden. Live music and dance performances and a selection of fairy-approved keepsakes for purchase will further enchant your day.
