About fairythyme
HI! My name is Carla Nelson and I'm a garden, fairy, herb writer. For seven years I wrote and published Herb Gatherings "The Newsletter For The Thymes" a bimonthly journal packed with herb and garden information. We had thousands of readers all across the U.S. and in many foreign countries. It was great fun. I also presented programs at many garden/herb/fairy events around the country which gave me an opportunity to meet some really wonderful kindred spirits. I'm still writing away as evidenced by my website: www.fairygoodthymes.com It's filled with gardening info, fairy insights, fairy poems, fairy crafts, a fascinating fairy blog and much more. I've also written and published 5 books - all garden/herb/fairy related.
I live in rural Indiana with my husband, Rich, and we're knee deep in gardening of all kinds. And I'm always on the lookout for the wee folk!
