MOUNT VERNON – Have you heard of a Fairy Garden Trail? These trails have become increasingly popular as many visitors travel to observe this magical kingdom. It is truly a venue for all ages.
A wooded area can come to life as fairy homes may appear in fallen tree stumps, openings in trees and vegetated areas. You might observe tiny ladders popping out of trees and miniature doors nestled in the roots. Peek inside as these winged creatures’ homes have been designed by local residents to create an enchanting atmosphere.
The Knox County Park District is currently taking entries for Fairy Trail designs. Requirements and details can be located at the Park District website at knoxcountyparks.org, then follow the activities link. All entries must be submitted by April 21. Designs will be viewed by a committee, and winning entries will be notified on April 22.
The trail will be announced to the public on May 7 during Mother’s Day weekend. For more information about other upcoming events, visit the Knox County Park District website at knoxcountyparks.org and click on ”events.”
