Fairies are easily attracted to gardens. They enjoy both wild areas and well manicured areas of gardens. Alongside your other plants, you should have a small area of your garden that is kept unkempt. Placing statues or small fountains in these wilder areas will serve both as a gift to the fairy folk and add a lovely touch to what might otherwise seem only an unkempt area. Fairy houses can be built to welcome the little people. Certain plants are especially favored by fairies and will help attract them to your garden. Below is a list of the little people's favorite plants.

Alder....Protected by water spirits.
Apple....To ensure good harvests, leave the last apple of your crop for the Apple-Tree-Man.
Ash....Druids wands were made of ash twigs. It also has healing properties. Weak-limbed children were passed through split ash trees which were then bound up. If the tree grew straight, the child would as well. Also may be used as a substitute for Rowan.
Birch....If the spirit of the birch tree (The One With the White Hand) touches a head it leaves a white mark and the person turns insane. If it touches a heart, the person will die.
Blackthorn....Guarded by the Lunantishee
Bluebell....One who hears a bluebell ring will soon die. A field of bluebells is especially dangerous, as it is intricately interwoven with faerie enchantments. Said to attract fairies to dance in your garden. On Beltane eve, make an ankle bracelet of "Bluebells" and "jingle" bells to attract helpful fae folk to you.
Clover....A four-leafed one may be used to break a faerie spell. A sacred fairy plant, clovers of all kinds will attract them. Lay seven grains of wheat on a four-leafed clover to see the Fairy.
Cowslips....These are loved and protected by the fairies. They help one to find hidden faerie gold.
Elder....Sometimes is a witch disguised as a tree. Never lay a baby in an elder wood cradle or the fairies will pinch them so they bruise. Burning elder wood is dangerous since it invites the Devil.
Elderberries....Used to make Fairy wine, these berries can be burned on a fire to invite the Good Folk to a gathering. Make a homemade brew of Elderberry Wine and you are sure to have some thirsty visitors. It is said that if a human drinks the wine, she will be able to see the Fairy. If a human should drink elderberry wine from the same goblet as a Fairy being, he will be able to see them forever after.
Elcampagne....Also known as Elfswort. This root can be scattered around the home to attract the Sidhe. It can be added to any magic or spell to invoke Fairy blessing.
Fairy Ring Mushroom....Marks the boundaries of faerie rings.
Foxglove....Florets are worn by fairies as hats and gloves. The source of the modern heart drug Digitalis, Foxglove can have seriously dangerous results if taken internally. Do Not Ingest!! Instead, plant Foxglove near your front door to invite the Fairy in. Put a dried sprig of Foxglove in a talisman to keep you surrounded in Faery light.
Hazel....Celtic legend says it is the receptacle of knowledge; the hazelnut is a symbol of fertility in England.
Heather....Heather is said to ignite faery passions and open portals between their world and our own. Make an offering of Heather on "Beltane" eve to attract good fae to your garden
Lilac....The sweet scent is said to draw Fae spirits to your garden. Lilac and primroses for midsummer's eve, will please the Fae.
Milkweed....Both Monarch butterflies and fairies like milkweed. If Milkweed is planted in a Witches garden, the fey will always be in the area. The silky tassels of the Milkweed pods can be added to a dream pillow to not only make it softer but also to make you dream of fairies. In the Autumn when the pods are bursting and the fluffy seeds are flying across the fields, a wish is granted for each seed that can be caught and then released again.
Mistletoe....The most sacred herb of the Druids. Mistletoe is a magical activator. In Faery spells, use a dash of Mistletoe taken on Summer Solstice to empower your workings with Faery magic.
Oak....Oakmen are created when a felled oak stump sends up shoots. One should never take food offered by them since it is poisonous.
Pansies....The flower that was used as a love potion by Oberon, a faerie king thought to have been invented by Shakespeare.
Peony....Peony seeds were once used to protect children from fairies. A garland of the seeds were placed around the child's neck to keep them safe from kidnapping.

• Poppies....Said to invoke the fairy into your dreams Make a dream pillow of fresh poppies to entice the fae to your dreams.

• Primroses....Make the invisible visible. Eating them lets you see fairies. If one touches a faerie rock with the correct number of primroses in a posy, the way to faerie land and faerie gifts is made clear. The wrong number means certain doom. When planted in a garden or hung dried on the front door, primroses will attract the company of Fairies. If you have them growing under your care, do not let them die! The Fairy will be deeply offended by your carelessness. Primroses are great in container gardens.

• Ragwort....Used as makeshift horses by the faerie.

• Roses....Roses attract the Fairy to a garden. Their sweet scent will lure elemental spirits to take up residence close by. Roses can be used in Fairy love spells. When performing the spell, sprinkle rose petals under your feet and dance softly upon them while asking the Fairy for their blessing on your magic. Roses are loved by the fey so you can plant Roses in your garden to attract fairies. Wild Roses are best for this purpose

• Rowan....Protects against bad spirits. Used in butter churns so that the butter would not be overlooked by fairies. Bewitched horses may be controlled by a rowan whip. Druids used rowan wood for fires with which they called up spirits whom could be forced to answer questions when rowanberries were spread over the flayed hides of bulls.

• Thyme....Part of a recipe for a brew to make one see the fairies. The tops of the Wild Thyme must be gathered near the side of a faerie hill. Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the Sidhe. Sprinkle it at the base of your door, and on window sills to invite the Fairy to enter your home.

• Toadstools....Some have poisonous hallucinogenic properties. The Vikings ate it and gain their reputations as berserkers. In Celtic lore, they are among the food of the gods, as with many red plants. Some toadstools associated with the faerie are Fly Agaric, Yellow Fairy Club, Slender Elf Cap, Dune Pixie-Hood, and Dryad's Saddle.
• Willow....At night they uproot themselves and stalk travelers, muttering at them.
