Such a fun Children's Garden too, this is the story of this part of the garden: there is an old saying, "Faerie folks are in old oaks." The woodland fairies are nature spirits who live on Oak Hill. The fairies watched over the children as they played. The children thought it was the wind whistling in their ears when Lark, the music fairy, sang for them. Blossom, the flower fairy, led them to a patch of lilies-of-the-valley so they could pick sweet-smelling bouquets for their mothers. Glimmer, the magician fairy, sometimes played tricks on them. If the children removed their hats and gloves, he would hide them in the strangest places (but he almost always let the children find their things before it was time to go home).
This is a very SMALL sampling of the beauty of Winterthur, a place well worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the area!
