Children help with gardening chores, enjoying the wonders of the natural world around themselves.<\/p>\n

Fairy Dogs serve a special purpose. When they flutter and fly they circle the gardens round and round, increasing their speed. This causes the air to circulate and \u00a0fairy dust to scatter both high and low so all plants are touched with this magical powder.<\/p>\n
