REDLANDS >> Redland’s First Fairy Garden Festival was hosted by the Garden and Floral Arrangers Guild on Saturday, May 14. The Fairy Garden Festival featured displays of miniature fairy gardens, floral arrangements, vendors, and workshops for children to learn more about the horticultural scene. Inside of Kendall House at Plymouth Village was a tour of fairy gardens that showcased the community’s agricultural and artistic talents. A variety of flowers, plants, and terrariums were scattered throughout the venue, with experts on hand to speak about them to interested festival attendees. Different events were held throughout the festival, which included a Fairy Tale story session and a bubble session for children. “Albert Einstein once said, ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.’ So we have a lot of different events for the kids to enjoy. Aside from the fairy tales, we will also have a ladybug release, which will be fun for the kids.” Joyce Dean, member of the Garden and Floral Arrangers Guild, said. Dean walked me around the festival, talking excitedly about the different vendors and events that were being held. Silent auctions and opportunity drawings were being held, while festival goers chatted amongst woodcrafted art works. Children laughed merrily in the bubble station and a mother with her small child listened attentively to the fairy tales being told on the lawn. Behind the Kendall House was a Fairy Garden demonstration, which let attendees learn how to build their own Fairy Garden. “[The festival] is really, very nice and fun. Our guild hold exhibits at the Huntington Library and do all sorts of things, but we decided to hold a second Fairy Garden Festival, because last year’s was so well received.” Dean said. Towards the end of the festival, the ladybugs were released and awards were granted for the fairy garden displays. “My favorite station might be the bubbles,” Dean answered when asked about her favorite part of the festival. “Definitely the bubbles.”
