Something very magical is about to happen at the Zilker Botanical Garden! Faeries are landing in February to prepare for the joys of springtime. You are invited to welcome them to the garden at the annual Faerie Tea Parties where you and your kids can dress up in your own wings and faerie best, enjoy refreshments, and look for signs of faerie landings throughout the gardens. After the tea party, you can even take home a plant to invite faeries into your own garden.
