Want to sneak in a trip to a fantastic garden while also keeping the little ones in the family entertained? Then go check out the fairy houses and the fairies in North Carolina found only at Bullington Gardens in Hendersonville.

The Fairy Trail is quickly becoming the go-to spot for children and adults alike at Bullington Gardens.

TripAdvisor/VicMik Although this free garden features 11 different gardens spread over 12 acres, it’s the Fairy Trail you’ll want to hit first. (And that’s mainly so you can go again after you tour the other 10 gardens!)

Each year, Bullington closes the Fairy Trail temporarily in the off season and revamps the cute fairy settings found along the trail.

These include enchanting fairy houses, most using the natural flora enhanced with home and park details.

Fairy doors are an integral part of the Fairy Trail. And while the urge may hit you to open each and every one of them, please open only the ones designated as interactive. (The trail has a very distinct set of rules you’ll find posted at the entrance.)

In 2021, the Ivy Patch Fun Park was added, kicking up a bit of carnival whimsy along the Fairy Trail. It comes complete with everything but the smell of corn dogs, popcorn, and the sound of carnival music.

As noted, touring the Fairy Trail and any part of Bullington Gardens is absolutely free. But donations are greatly appreciated!
