Spring Projects Made Possible By Generous Gifts & Grants
Generous gifts & grants make spring improvements a reality!
Fairy Doors!
The Fairy Door Auction is a unique fundraising initiative that allows visitors to bid on ten specially designed fairy doors. The Interactive Sponsorship Doors have been embellished by volunteers, staff, and fairy ambassadors and feature a variety of whimsical and creative designs, including drawbridges, country cabins, nature themes, and unicorns.
Visitors will have the opportunity to bid on their favorite fairy door or buy it outright if they fall in love with one and have to have it. The auction provides an exclusive and exciting way for visitors to take home a piece of the Fairy Trail and support the project financially.

A Note from Annie
Autumn is truly the season that teaches us that change can be beautiful. Many of the changes happening at Bullington are just that. Since July, our new Education Director, Tracy Calla has been jumping in with both feet. Into the Boost classes, into the Horticultural Therapy programs and getting a firsthand look at the aspects that make Bullington shine in so many eyes.

Summer Fun
Summer Fun
With the end of school classes nearing, we’re turning our attention towards summer fun.
For starters, the fairies make their annual migration to the gardens on June 1 and will stay until the end of August. Additions to the trail this year will be a dentist office for the tooth fairy, a unicorn stable, and a photo op featuring fairy wings.
Planting the Seeds
Planting the Seeds
Spring is in the air, and with it blooms all of the ideas and projects that we’ve been cultivating over the dark of winter.
Art in the Garden: Last fall, we were gifted art sculptures from local resident and philanthropist Jeanie Linders. These art pieces range from rustic to modern, small to large, and are being installed throughout the garden by volunteers Stan Juczak and Ron Rich. They’ll be included on our new map, coming out soon.
Happy Holidays!
Since August, the gardens have somewhat returned to normalcy, with students returning to in-person classes and our Fall Plant sale being held in person. Even though our holiday sale is a hybrid of in-person and virtual, 2021 had many momentous events.
As our year comes to a close, we look back at some of the things we’re losing and forward to things to be gained in 2022.
