In 2001 this garden was established with many passalong plants from my Wave Road home and by 2011 the garden had long since become my sanctuary. In keeping with that I created a formal meditation space.
From day one the labyrinth fulfilled its contemplative objective and added a strong design focal point to the garden. Seen here four months after completion, the meditation circle that first year was planted in Iberis, penstemon, thyme and angelonia, with the odd color but budget-friendly choice of marigolds marking either side of the entrance.
I enjoyed seeing the development of your Meditation Circle in those earlier blogs and equally the more occasional visit more recently.
You’re very kind Malc! The circle needs a structural facelift as it has settled a lot over time. I still enjoy it though.
It is always a joy to see your garden. We need time and a place to meditate now!

Thanks Jane. Yes, it’s definitely a good time to practice.
It’s a lovely creation, past and present, Susie!
Thanks Kris. Needs a good bit of love pretty soon to spiff it up a bit.
I had wondered if you were still enjoying this beautiful space because we hadn’t seen it in a while. 🙂 Did you create your own plan to do it?
I do enjoy it but it hasn’t looked photo-worthy in a while. I hope to pull it back from the brink this year! I researched labyrinths some and sketched out a plan. My husband figured out the math to lay it out properly.
It’s always interesting to look back and see how a garden has grown, evolved and changed from the original. I suppose, just like we do!
It sure is Eliza. I have always felt my garden is escaping from me and out of control but looking back it has had some good moments.
I really liked your meditation circle from the moment I first saw it many years ago (congratulations on your blogiversary!) and it was nice to revisit today! I wonder if you have any new plans for planting this year, or will you stick with the self-seeded blooms from past years. I remember seeing your lovely antirrhinums and penstemon.
