Boundaries Round the Fairies Tree


Boundaries round the Fairies Tree in Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne
The tree fairies were designed by Ola Cohn 1931-4.
Her carvings were done after the tree's death - which caused problems and created the need for the tree to be uprooted and set in concrete in 1977.


Ola Cohn wrote two books connected with the tree.
The Fairies' Tree (1932)
