Elemental Water Garden
Incorporating a water feature in your garden is a marvellous way to invite in the magic of water. If space is limited, it can be as simple as a tabletop fountain.
A bird bath, larger fountain or pond are nice options for larger spaces.
Add some aquatic plants such as water lilies or horsetail. These can be grown in a half barrel, if a pond or fountain isn't feasible.
Welcome the energy of water in your garden by incorporating blue bells. Blue is one of the rarest colours to find in plants.
To fill in you may also wish to use, purples, whites, and pinks.
Decorate using shells, starfish, cobbles and pebbles, mermaids, and water nymphs.
Elemental Earth Garden
Pretty much everything you’d find in a garden is already connected to the element of Earth. You can add to what you already have, or you may perhaps wish to include some grounding elements. This could be a seat made of wood or tree stumps, willow branch, and stick accents and furniture. Rocks and boulders can also be used.
If space allows, adding trees can be a lovely touch. These can be shade trees, sacred Celtic trees, fruiting or nut trees, or simply a favourite existing tree.
Creating a vegetable or herb garden is another way to incorporate the element of earth and the bounty of mother nature.
Create walls of green all around your garden or balcony. Just keep filling your space with plants until it’s green everywhere you look.
