Pinterest Link:https://www.pinterest.com/FairywoodGardens/fairywood-gardens/ Fairywood Vision The anticipated role of house and garden was to offer an intimate, calming, and nurturing oasis for all who resided within them. An emphasis was placed on lush green foliage and strong structural form, using native and non native plantings. In addition to the formal plantings, co-fostering of wild plants, fungi, lichens, mosses, and food sources for insects, birds and wild animals was encouraged and continues to be a priority at Fairywood. Over 46 bird species have been seen and or heard at Fairywood, including rare Barn Owls, Woodcocks, Treecreepers and Greater Spotted Woodpecker who regularly feeds at the bird feeders outside the kitchen window. Larger mammals such as the badgers and foxes and smaller mammals such as the hedgehog, and bats have lived in or regularly feed in the garden. Red squirrels feed in the old oak trees of the wood.
