Spend The Day Exploring A Magical Fairy Garden At The Garden Door In Wisconsin

It’s obvious that Wisconsin is wonderful, but did you know it’s magical, too? It’s true, and if you need proof, a visit to The Garden Door’s Faerie Garden should do the trick. As enchanting as you’d expect, it’s filled with tiny fairies, miniature abodes, and lots of plants and flowers – it is a garden, after all. Take a look:

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Opened in 2005, The Garden Door is located on the grounds of the University of Wisconsin Peninsular Agricultural Research Station.

Free to visit, the garden is maintained by members of the Door County Master Gardeners Association.

Truly beautiful, it’s brimming with an array of annuals and perennials…but that’s not all.

In addition to bountiful blooms, The Garden Door boasts a double kaleidoscope, koi pond, play area, butterfly garden, bottle trees, and…

…probably the best feature of all, The Fairie Garden.

Located in the back portion of The Garden Door, The Fairie Garden is filled with vibrant greenery, eye-catching flora, and fairies, of course.

The mythical beings are only half of the garden’s allure, though.

The other half comes from the tiny structures that fill it.

As you peruse The Fairie Garden, you’ll find miniature abodes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including a lighthouse and RV.

The teeny tiny habitats are placed throughout the garden.

Some are on the ground among the plants and flowers and others in wheelbarrows and other structures – so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.

The Garden Door’s regular operating hours are Sunday – Saturday, from sunrise until sunset. For more information, call (920) 743-5406. You can also visit The Door County Master Gardeners Association website or The Garden Door Facebook page.
