Brining back those sweet memories of your childhood this garden is representing the inner world, which is concealed inside all of us. It is our mind that determines our intentions and actions and by changing our attitude and vision we can change the world around us.
The concept of the garden is best described by Jim Cumberland:
“If you learn to see the beauty in every plant then your garden will never have weeds If you learn to find the joy in every stone then your garden will always have a path And if you learn to hear the blessing in every curse then your garden will always have fairies…” Encouraging you to be creative miniature landscapes are featured in the garden – tiny fairy houses and habitats.
