It’s obvious that Wisconsin is wonderful, but did you know it’s magical, too? It’s true, and if you need proof, a visit to The Garden Door’s Faerie Garden should do the trick. As enchanting as you’d expect, it’s filled with tiny fairies, miniature abodes, and lots of plants and flowers – it is a garden, after all. Take a look:
Opened in 2005, The Garden Door is located on the grounds of the University of Wisconsin Peninsular Agricultural Research Station.

The other half comes from the tiny structures that fill it.

Some are on the ground among the plants and flowers and others in wheelbarrows and other structures – so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.
