One of my favorites.

What an enjoyable book even if you don’t have space for a garden. The book has serval goddess gardens where different associations are mentioned. Though the main theme are plants. There are always different kinds of things they show how you can use the plants to connect with each goddess. The author at the back share a few garden themes you do like a god garden or an incense garden.

Love this book! There is brief information on each of the goddesses she features, and then what sorts of plants, flowers and decor to put in your garden to honor or represent each goddess. Some of the goddesses have colors or precious/semiprecious stones as well. Fun and applicable!!

I enjoyed this book. It gives you an idea of how to build and dedicate a goddess centered garden and what plants to harvest and when.
