Fairy House Village - Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

A journey to Boothbay, ME included a visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. With over 300 acres of gardens and natural spaces; including a butterfly garden, the mammoth Guardians of the Seeds, a Children's Garden, and sculpture art throughout, it was an adventure to explore. 




As we walked through the various gardens in search of the trolls, we happened upon the Fairy House Village. This delightful fairy village is nestled upon a hilly expanse in the forest where children young and old can gather materials from the forest floor and create unique fairy dwellings. Birch bark, pinecones, stones and other treasures found are put together to create a welcoming habitat for the fairy folk. It's quite an amazing compilation of buildings, limited only by imagination. Tucked at the base of a tree, or standing alone, creativity abounds at this magical location. It is hard to capture the expanse of this fairy house village, but we're happy to share a few of the fairyland creations!








 There is no doubt that we walked among the fairies on this warm summer day in late July!
