Liz Norstrom, shown here as The Queen of the Fairies, presented a program to her garden club, The Green Blades, about fairy gardens.The program included a walk through Norstrom’s fairy garden, information about how to create a fairy garden and about fairies: what they are, whether they are real, where they live and their history. Norstrom said fairies have been in every part of the world, including Polk County, since the beginning of time and are very much alive. “Her program was delightful, and I for one would not have missed it,” said Elaine Riley. “There was a little bit of music, history, laughter and gardening, not to mention the queen herself in all her splendor – crown, wand, tutu and the most beautiful fairy wings. It was pure delight.” (photo by Elaine Riley; article submitted by Green Blades Garden Club)
