It is specially tailored to the client’s needs, and is planted more formally, although this planting may be a formal structure containing soft waves of wild plants, as well as stones, crystals and monuments with sacred significance. Its key elements are;

  • Formal and highly symbolic structure
  • Symbolic planting
  • Strong linear or curving paths
  • A focal point, often symmetrically placed

A sacred space can be created within another kind of garden, such as the meditation garden, adding an extra dimension to an already tranquil place.
