Sunflowers and New Mushroom Pots!
Friday June 26th
Sunflower gifts are now available again for sending to friends!



Send Gifts


While fully grown, the Sunflower will bring the Sun out in your Garden, and the Mice and Mallards will be taking shade under their Mushrooom Parasols!
Seasonal Quest Alert!
Our new seasonal quest, "Fun In The Sun", is also open again.

Different variations on this quest are available at a few different levels, but only until the end of September, while the Sunflowers are still available in the Gift Shoppe.


Sunflower Growing Challenge


Our seasonal Sunflower-Growing Challenge is also back once again - challenge yourself to grow the tallest Sunflower you can, and earn a fabulous new Mushroom Pot for different heights grown.

All Sunflowers are 20 inches in height when the flower first blooms. Then for the first hour after the flower appears, you have the opportunity to make it grow taller by spotting and/or attracting Summer Mice & Mallards. Each one you either spot in another Garden, or is spotted in your Garden, will cause your leftmost Sunflower to grow by 2 inches (or by 4 inches if it's a Summer Pygmy Mouse.)

You have exactly 1 hour to grow your Sunflower taller by spotting/attracting the Summer Mice & Mallards (note: you can't freeze your garden during this time.) You then need to wait for the Sunflower to become "Ready For Harvest" and when you harvest it, you get a Mushroom Pot corresponding to the height of Sunflower you grew.

Here are Sunflower heights you need to grow to earn each of the pots:
Sunflower HeightPot
22-25 inches
26-29 inches
30-33 inches
34-37 inches
38-43 inches
44-49 inches
50+ inches


Sunflowers are available ALL SUMMER (until the end of September) so there's plenty of time... Happy Sunflower Growing!


For a little extra fun and friendly competition, here are the tallest Sunflowers grown in the whole of Fairyland this season! There are no prizes for the tallest - this is just for fun. Can you get your name up there?!

It's Summertime In Fairyland!
Sunday June 21st
The Summer Solstice is upon us (in the northern hemisphere) which is officially the first day of Summer in Fairyland!

This means our Summer seasonal wildlife are beginning to arrive again, starting today with the Beehives, which will not only bring Bees but also a few other honey-loving wildlife to your Garden!

Beehive gifts can be sent to friends using the links below:

If this is your first time doing Beehives, or if you need a quick reminder of how they work, please click here

Rainbow Candy Critters!
Wednesday April 29th
With many Fairylanders enjoying the Candy Critter challenge, a few late arrivals thought they would join the fun.... the Rainbow Candy Critters!



This is an extension to the current challenge, so you still need to figure out how to attract the Violet Candy Critters first, and you can then move on to figuring out how to attract each Rainbow Candy Critter.

As always, details are in the Wildlife Guide :)
Plant An Earth Flower For Earth Day!
Friday April 17th
Fairyland's Earth Flower is back again, in time for Earth Day on April 22nd!



Send Gifts


As usual, the Earth Flower also attracts cute little Earthworms to your Garden (which are quite rare, so you may need to plant a few Earth Flowers to attract them more easily.)



Let's Make Fairyland (Even More) Beautiful!
Saturday April 4th
As you know, your Garden has a feature allowing you to 'freeze' your favourite background effects in place after growing them (for example, by using the 'Magical Pots'.) However the background currently needs to be re-frozen with Star Dust every week.

The great news starting today is that when you freeze your background it will now last indefinitely, meaning you don't need to remember to re-freeze it ever again and you can also use more of your Star Dust for Superfood instead :)

The only time you now need to re-freeze your background is when you decide to add new effects and wish to freeze those new ones in place. (You can always remove one or more effects at any time, just like before.)

This change will take effect the next time you use Star Dust to freeze your background effects.

Hopefully we'll now see lots more beautiful and creative Garden backgrounds throughout Fairyland :)

It's A Free Superfood Weekend!!
Friday March 27th
It's been a while since we last had one, so it's time for another...



Free Superfood Time Remaining: 2 days, 17 hours


In case you haven't been around for a Free Superfood Weekend before, this simply means that Superfood is FREE for everyone from now until the end of this weekend :)

Have fun!
It's Egg-Hunting Season Again!
Wednesday March 18th
It's time to go egg-hunting again - get started now by sending beautiful Daffodil gifts to friends!


Send Gifts


Daffodils attract the Easter Bunny. Remember to keep an empty "nest" in your own Garden while hunting for him as he will drop a decorated egg for you whenever you spot him in another garden, which will then incubate in your nest.

Chocolate Eggs!


Just like previous years, the Easter Bunny will very occasionally drop a Chocolate Egg instead of the usual decorated ones. However this only happens extremely rarely (there's only about a 1 in 100 chance that the egg will be Chocolate.)



If you do manage to get a Chocolate Egg in your nest, it will attract the Chocolate Bunny to your Garden, and will continue to attract it even after it has "hatched"! Chocolate Bunnies also drop Chocolate Eggs (for every 10th one you spot in other gardens), which means that this will become the best way to find Chocolate Eggs, once there are enough Gardens attracting the Chocolate Bunnies.





Other (decorated) eggs will still hatch into Baby Chicks as before, or you can choose to hatch them underwater (where they will hatch into Baby Seahorses - see the Seasonal section of the Wildlife Guide for full details.)

Not finished building a nest yet? Don't worry - so that everyone can join the fun right away, you can get a ready-completed nest simply by clicking here! (Note: The free nest will not be available if you have already collected it in a previous year.)

To host multiple eggs at once in your Garden, you will of course need to build additional nests yourself (empty nesting trees are available in the gift shoppe)

Seasonal Quest Alert!
Finally, the seasonal quest, "Do you have the Eggs Factor?", is back again of course!

A different variation on this quest is available at every level, while the Daffodil is available in the Gift Shoppe!


Happy Egg Hunting!

Leprechauns and Shamrocks!
Tuesday March 10th
It's the time of year again when the Leprechauns pay a visit to Fairyland, and they can be spotted around the Gardens mischeivously stealing the veggies which have been left out for Wildlife!

Leprechauns are attracted to Gardens with fully grown Shamrocks, and these are available now for gifting to friends:



Send Gifts


As usual, every Shamrock harvested releases a Pot O' Gold. There's a 1 in 10 chance that a Shamrock will be a lucky "4-Leaf Clover" (these release more Gold than the regular Shamrocks ones when harvested!)


Seasonal Quest Alert!
The Leprechaun's seasonal quest, "Luck Of The Irish", is also available again - but only until March 17th!


Shamrock Pots!


In case you missed them in previous years, Shamrock Pots are also available again...

The "Inflating" Shamrock Pot is earned for every 10th Leprechaun you spot (either regular or Scuba-Leprechaun) in other Gardens. He will then drop one of these for you, sending it to your Storage Area.



The Shamrock "Hand-Painted Pot" design is also available again in the Pot Shoppe.
10th Annual Fairyland Players Convention (UK)
Monday March 9th
Every year, a group of Fairylanders organize a convention where players can get together and meet each other and enjoy a day of Fairyland-themed fun. Dozens of players attend each year, with some travelling around the world to be there! The day is always a lot of fun and everyone's very friendly.

Following the success of last year's event, it's being held at the same venue again this year (Chesil Vista in Weymouth, Dorset, UK), on Saturday June 20th

Tickets are £15 and everyone's invited, so if you're interested in coming along and meeting other friendly Fairylanders then you can purchase your ticket via PayPal by clicking here and also join the event's Facebook Group to meet other attendees before you go and ask any questions you may have about about getting there/accommodation etc.

Please note that this event is organized by players, not by Fairyland, so all questions etc should be directed to the organizers via their Facebook Group.

Love Is In The Air!
Saturday February 1st
February is the month of Love in Fairyland, and the Loveflower is now available again for sharing with friends!



Send Gifts


When flowering, the Loveflower attracts beautiful Lovebirds to your Garden, and you can also attract Cupid Mouse by using the Loveflower's Glass Vase (see the Wildlife Guide for more details of how to do this.)

Seasonal Quest!
The seasonal quest, "Be My Valentine", is also available again (at Quest Levels I and II.) It's available while the Loveflower is in the Gift Shoppe.

The First Flower Of Spring!
Friday January 31st
Wintertime is drawing to a close in Fairyland, and the First Flowers of Spring have just started to appear!



Send Gifts


When flowering, the First Flower of Spring will attract the Groundhog to your Garden. According to Fairyland Folklore, when the Groundhogs leave hibernation and begin visiting the Gardens again, it's a sure sign that winter will soon be over and spring is just around the corner!

Then when Ready For Harvest, the First Flower of Spring will bring springtime showers in your Garden... but remember that you need to have a cloud in your sky first, produced by a RFH "Cumulus Albiflorus" planted in a "White Marshmallow" Magical Pot - after all, there can't be any rain without a cloud in the sky!
Candy Critters!
Thursday January 9th
7 brand new wildlife (actually 49 if you count all the colour variations) have arrived in Fairyland today, collectively known as the Candy Critters!



Candy Critters are attracted by the fruit of Candyflowers (different colours/shapes of Candy.) You need to find the correct combination of 3 candy shapes/colours to attract each type of Candy Critter.

To get things started, you have 3 Candyflower seeds waiting for you in the Misc section of the Seed Shoppe. These will fruit into completely random Candy shapes & colours - hopefully you'll get lucky and attract something right away... if not, try changing their order in your Garden (the order matters!) and also try different food types.

Finally, be sure to read the full information provided in the Wildlife Guide before you start - there are some important things to know!

Enjoy, and good luck!
