Faerie Chairs and Other Raffles
Victorian Faerie Chairs
We have received many questions about our Faerie Chairs. Our faerie godmothers, Alison Ogilvie and Jan Greene, describe the Faerie Chairs as small gardens which are ideal for our local London faeries. They are container gardens made from old chairs, stumps, tables, etc that hold a garden container which is often removable and able to be changed for the seasons. Please check out the photos of the 2008 Chairs.
This year, we have some very generous and noble faerie godparents who created and donated faerie chairs for raffle. The chairs were on display and for raffle at two garden locations - 2 Carrothers and 122 Fourwinds Place.

Joni Baechler, City Council
