Fairy Tales Winter Garden Exhibit
A Magical Day at the "Fairy Tales Winter Garden Exhibit"
February 19, 2018
As someone with a deep fascination for fairy tales, I was absolutely thrilled to visit the Fairy Tales Winter Garden Exhibit at the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory earlier this month. The exhibit brought to life the enchanting world of fairy tales in the most magical way, blending nature’s beauty with the timeless stories we all know and love.
Fairy tales have a unique way of captivating us with their unforgettable characters—some who fill us with wonder and others who send shivers down our spines. They offer us a rollercoaster of emotions, from moments of fear and sadness to joy and laughter. Whether it's giants, evil witches, girls in red capes, trolls, frogs, or princesses, these stories have stood the test of time because they stir something deep within us.
One of my favorite fairy tales featured in the exhibit was Jack and the Beanstalk, an English classic that continues to inspire generations with its tale of adventure, bravery, and magic. I also enjoyed the display honoring Rapunzel, the beloved German fairy tale, famously adapted by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th century. The tale of a girl trapped in a tower with hair long enough to be used as a ladder has fascinated readers since it was first published by Friedrich Schulz in 1790.
The exhibit was a beautiful blend of nature and imagination, and it reminded me just how powerful fairy tales are in shaping our dreams and fears. It was a day full of wonder and nostalgia, and I’m so glad I had the chance to experience it. If you love fairy tales as much as I do, this is definitely an exhibit worth visiting.
Three Billy Goats Gruff is a Norwegian fairy tale.
