Sacred Gardens
This is a whole or part of a garden set aside for ceremony, spiritual communication and celebration. 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.
