Garden Plans > 2023: Mandala Garden

About this Garden Plan

This year I designed a mandala garden. In a mandala garden, we combine herbs, flowers and vegetables, and use concentric circles to create a new feeling in the garden, encouraging wandering as well as reflection time standing in the middle, taking everything . This shape also cut down on watering time! Empty areas in the plan are necessary to allow for space to stage and store harvests on long gardening days.
