Consider a large ceramic outdoor oven that is both safe and moveable. It's plants that make the greatest technology-busters. The ones you choose for this garden should be your favorites as long as they are suited to the immediate exposure. Choose species that offer a diversity of foliage color and texture so that even when not in bloom the garden is satisfying. The color green is the best for absorbing light and to cut down glare of bright surfaces.
Flowers are highly personal.
You can concentrate on those that are intensely fragrant for a changing aromatherapy experience as the seasons pass. In very hot climates it may be more soothing to choose only cool colored flowers in white, blue, purple and pink, avoiding red, orange and yellow. The main purpose for the sanctuary, spiritual garden, urban oasis or however you decide to describe it, is to find the counter balance for technology. Repair to your garden when life is pressing because after all, God did create a garden as the perfect environment for Adam and Eve. All Rights Reserved.
