What makes a garden magical?
Making fairy habitat: whether you believe in magic folk or not, to successfully make part of the garden feel magical you need to create a space where you can imagine a fairy could live. You need romantic plantings. You need flowers. You need bird, bee and butterfly attracting plants. The garden was called ‘magic’ because it was not an ordinary garden. The flowers and birds could talk to each other and express their love for the children. Most importantly, it was a place where fairies came out at night to dance and sing, wearing dresses made of flowers and wings of sunshine.
What is a magic plant?
Magical plants’ include many medicinal herbs recognised by conventional medicine – herbs that have been valued for their healing properties since ancient times. These plants have been associated with magical powers for a reason – mostly they have parts or seeds that contain pharmacologically active substances. Natural magic so defined includes astrology, alchemy, and disciplines that we would today consider fields of natural science, such as astronomy and chemistry (which developed and diverged from astrology and alchemy, respectively, into the modern sciences they are today) or botany (from herbology).
