When I had my big house in the city, I had one side yard designated for a "secret shade garden" where I could sit and drink a cup of coffee even in the summer. That's a big deal here in Phoneix. I pushed the envelope with things I grew in that small area.
The other side was a 'prayer garden' where I had to water by hose rather than the drip system. I placed river rocks with friends names painted on them along the path . . . as I came to each one, I would say a little prayer. I miss having a large property to do that and hope to do it again one day.
I'd like to write an article for my website about prayer gardens so if any of you have them, or even designated places in your garden for prayer, would you share here with me? Or you may tree-mail me too.
