Hi there! My name is Nolana Willowsnap, I am 103 and I am what they call a “water fairy”. I recently moved here from the rose gardens of Tyler. I spent the last 20 years there helping the gardens bloom and grow. That is what we “water fairies” do. We nourish all kind plants to make them grow strong and beautiful. Before that, I lived in Chile where I was born. I came from a bud off of the Nolana Flower. They also call it the Chilean Bellflower.
It is the most beautiful flower in the world (that is my opinion). When I was around 83, I decided I wanted to see the world so I traveled to Tyler. A few weeks ago, I heard there was a place being designated just for fairies here in this park and decided to come check it out. I fell in love with this park and decided that I wanted to help the dogwoods bloom for the Dogwood Trails Festival. I have met several humans so far and they have been super nice. They even helped me build a roof for my house! I am so excited to live here and make the park better and even more beautiful than it already is!
