The Fairies of Green Spring
A magical spring awaits young visitors to Green Spring. Due to the popularity of last year’s fairy-themed summer camp, Youth + Family have been working on something very special. We are proud to announce we now have our very own fairy forest that is starting to take root in the wooded area behind the Historic House! Fairy houses are springing up from the ground, hanging in trees, and growing from stumps all around. Everyone is invited to come welcome our new flying friends to the area! Search and see how many homes and doors you can spot and, if you are very quiet, you may even hear the tinkling bell laughter of a fairy or two.
See you in the fairy forest!
We hope to continue adding more and more to this fantastical neighborhood. Are you interested in donating materials to the fairy forest? If so, please contact me at
