Faerie Chair
By CinnamonMoon
I got this in my email today and
thought I'd share it with those interested in the Fae.
PLANTING A FAERIE CHAIR~
Having flower faeries in the garden are intriguing...Planting
a faerie chair in your own herb garden is a great way to invite
them in...Other faeries will be able to see this from afar and
tell others, until you have such a wondrous amount of faeries
wanting to make their home there...You have to however remind
your friends and family not to sit on the chair~
First of all you will need an old
wooden chair...these are easy to find at flea markets, garage
sales, etc...even some of your family might have an old one
or two lying around in the garage, not being used...take the
seat part of the chair out...and here is the rest of the material
you will need:
Branches that are curly
Green Moss(there is a lot in the wooded areas)
Sphagnum moss
Chicken Wire(although you might find some other wire you could
use)
Potting soil or if you are creative, make your own
Wire cutters and a staple gun
You will also need some herb plants
for the Faeries:
Bluebells: Attracts faeries to dance in your garden~
Lavender: Faeries use the lavender to hang their clothes to
dry...also produces a calmness...the faeries love it~
Lilac: Draws the faeries spirit into the garden~
Peony: Used to protect faery children and children alike~
Poppies: This one is said to induce dreams of faeries~
Primroses: Will attract the faeries and was also used by the
faeries to attract love~ But don't let it die, for this offends
the wee ones~
Thyme: This one invites the faeries into your home also...faeries
also build their homes under the mounds of thyme~
Work on this Faerie chair outside,
so that the faeries can see what you are beginning to do and
they will start spreading the word~
Cut 2 squares of wire approximately
12" wider than the opening of the chair seat...staple the
wire to the sides and form the excess wire into a pouch...you
want to line the bottom of the pouch with wet sphagnum moss
until all the mesh part is covered by approximately 2"...Fill
in the pouch with a good potting soil and with compost and bring
the soil up to the level of the top of the seat.~
Take the herb plants out of their
pots and start planting them in the soil.
Remember to keep taller growing plants
at the back and the shorter plants such as thyme to the front.
Water well and cover the soil around
the plants with the green sheet moss.
The Faeries will like to hold picnics
on the moss and it will help the herbs from becoming too hot
on all those sunny days in July!
The curly branches should be twisted
down a leg of the chair, this will allow the Flower Faerie a
way of climbing up to their Faerie Garden. If you have extra
branches they can be inserted into the soil at the back in case
the Faeries want to build a swing~
For extra, if you like...add acorns
or anything from nature around the chair to make them feel at
home....I have added a wee sign to let everyone know that says...."The
Faeries Garden"....it is like they have their own wee city
all around it...it keeps growing more every year~
