The Wildflower Garden and Fairy Retreat

Fredericksburg, VA

The farm and garden is open to the public by APPOINTMENT ONLY, you can schedule your visit by clicking the "Book It" button below.  Our garden is a certified "Wildlife Habitat" by the National Wildlife Federation. We provide animals and pollinators; food, water, cover, and places for wildlife to raise young.  we have put in large wildflower gardens to help the pollinators  and fairy gardens to promote imagination. 

Children can come and learn how they can help the pollinators and birds that are native to Virginia such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other native birds. This garden has QR codes posted to explain the different gardens and activities. This is a self guided tour using the QR codes, we also will provide you with a print out of the Fairy Hunt.  . Take your time!!! There are gardens and information all over! 

There are several activities offered to children, "How to make an Bee or Butterfly Antenna" , making a "Seed Bomb, and making a Fairy Offering. By going to our activity page you can participate in songs, virtual stories, meditation, and affirmations. 

It is not difficult to just follow along to recordings. And of course there are cute gnomes, fairies and dragons throughout the garden. We ask that all guests stay outside of the fenced areas of the fairy gardens as they are delicate.  IF YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE REQUEST, OR YOUR CHILDREN BECOME DISTRUCTIVE, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE GARDEN!

Arrange for your child and you to meet a real Unicorn, photo opportunity and Unicorn ride. This service is in addition to the Discovery Activity! It is only available on when there is a garden attendant available to handle the Unicorn. 

How do I book Unicorn Experience? When you book your Appointment you can select the Unicorn Experience.  They are booked separately. There is an additional fee for the Unicorn Ride. You will either do the ride at beginning of your visit or at the end. 

Why Visit the Garden? 

Nature positively impacts the ability to mentally process situations, resulting in reduced anxiety and frustration, and often improving our mood and self-esteem. Cognitive functions are enhanced when we get outdoors, leading to improved productivity and reduced mental fatigue.

Outdoor activity may result in faster healing, reduced likelihood for illness and overall good physical health.
