About the Woodland Faerie Trail

Each summer, the Woodland Faeries return to Zilker Botanical Garden to vacation in Austin, TX. Families, school groups, and individuals within the community build tiny homes in preparation for the arrival of these fae folk. Each home is built with natural materials that will withstand the summer heat and be on display off the Oak Grove, along the winding Woodland Faerie Trail throughout the season. We ask that visitors do not disturb these homes in order to provide a safe and respectful atmosphere for the faeries.

All homes have been designed and built by volunteer faerie architects and can be enjoyed by all visitors from May 18 to July 13, 2024.

If you registered to build a home and have questions, please email info@zbgconservancy.org.
