Gardens have a spiritual component that can be accessed by anyone - they can also

Great Gardens Have Great
Design
What makes a great garden so visually captivating is
the thought that went into the design. When you look beyond just the abundance of colorful flowers
that catches your eye or a piece of garden art strategically placed when just the right proportion
so that it looks like it "belongs" there -- you will see the designer's hand at work.
Here you will find valuable information, insight,
advice, wisdom and resources different than most garden related sites. The topics and
articles are thought provoking yet very useful and practical whether you do it yourself or looking
to hire a professional in your garden and landscape endeavors - but with the underpinning of
gardens as a portal to the Sacred, the Spiritual, the Soul and as Sanctuaries that renew your Soul
and connect you with Nature and the Divine.
The benefits of a garden are well known, but the Spiritual - often
unseen benefits can be accessed when a garden is designed to evoke feelings that go beyond the
physical design of the garden. The designer therefore, must be sensitive to these criteria that are
psychological, physical and spiritual all reflecting the needs of the persons using the
garden. A person's garden, whatever form that may be, is a reflection of their mind, body
& spiritual condition. It is an untapped resource for Spiritual enlightenment and Soul
renewal.
