What It Was
Twenty schools, one enchanted garden,
and a whole lot of heart.
Fairy Garden Trail Vancouver brought together more than twenty Vancouver schools, each creating its own fairy garden installation along the trails of VanDusen Botanical Garden. Patients from BC Children's Hospital served as our judges, the public cast votes for their favourites, and every donation supported BC Children's Hospital Foundation. Designed as a full family experience, the day was filled with music, crafts, fairies, and wonder from morning to afternoon.
The Fairy Gardens
Built by twenty schools full of imagination
Each school designed and built its own fairy garden — castles, cottages, woodland worlds — displayed for judges and visitors to explore.
The Judges
Judged by the experts — the kids
Patients from BC Children's Hospital toured every installation as our official judging panel, selecting the garden that sparked the most imagination.
