Fairy gardens unleash the imagination

Centuries? Try millennia at least. These are very old folk memories being evoked in decorative gardens - heathens understand the "fairies", which we know as landvaettir, are as real as we are, and still hanging around. I'm sure they're delighted (or at least amused, and hopefully not annoyed) by all this probably inadvertent attention.

What I notice immediately is the immense popularity of fairy gardens in the home garden. For centuries, mankind has been fascinated by the mystifying legend of fairies, of so-called “wee folk” who can be kind to us humans or be mean and mischievous.
