Find your inner piece in your garden 

By The Garden Rebel

The backyard is often the spot for a meditation garden, First of all let me explain what a meditation garden is. It is an outdoor room of sorts that you can create to be your personalized, customized beauty garden.

The purpose of this space is for you to enjoy quiet time alone. You can choose to read a book, watch the birds in the birdbath, or you can choose to sit there with your eyes closed and do nothing. The ultimate goal is for you to always know there is this special space that you can go to, to become centered.

In all of our lives, there is the hustle and bustle of the world around us. There are work issues, family issues, and of course some drama going on with one of your friends so it makes sense for us to have a decompression chamber. It also makes sense that this decompression space is beautiful.

For example, you can get a beautiful ornate bench, you can add a gorgeous European style pot with a cascading firecracker plant, a bird bath, a select piece of driftwood and a variety of plants including palms, azaleas, fragrant jasmine, fragrant gardenias, and fragrant tea olives. Over a period of time it will grown in and be your sanctuary for years and years in the future.
