Tell me lovely one …do you adore flowers? Do you find yourself stopping to take a deep whiff when you see a blooming hyacinth, rose, lilac or honeysuckle? I totally do!
Have you ever wanted to create a gorgeous, lush garden and outside space that speaks to your feminine soul? Perhaps you like romance, or modern, or exotic… whatever your personal style is, I promise, you can create an outside space that will tickle your fancy and feed your goddess lifestyle desire!
A New Age Goddess will draw upon nature to recharge, reboot and rejuvenate. Why? Because, Gaia’s energy is infinite, comforting, nurturing, healing, and generous. Plugging into nature by sitting in a magnificent garden or outdoor space can help you feel refreshed (like you’ve slept soundly for 10 hours) and inspired to create and birth your dreams!
Really, all you need are plants, rich soil, some whimsical or architectural touches, your imagination, elbow grease, basic garden tools, and gardening gloves.
How To Create Your Magical And Tranquil Outdoor Space
The first step is to find a spot that calls to you energetically: Is there a place on your property with a big old oak tree or some flowering trees that would be the perfect backdrop for your enchanted garden? Perhaps instead you’d like a blank canvas to begin your masterpiece? Tidy up the chosen area by clearing away any clutter or debris that’s keeping you from noticing the space’s potential. Trash garbage and put compostable items like dead leaves and small sticks in your composter (I hope you have a composter… here’s a link to the one I use).
Next you should visit a local nursery: An abundance of blooming flowers are essential in any garden that evokes a magical and enchanted quality, think overflowing and colorful English Gardens. Green plants like hostas or ferns add a lush, woodland feel for shady areas. If given a choice, opt for native plants. Native plants and flowers survive on less water than invasive species, so they’re eco-friendly and economic too!

Another idea is to add a water feature of some kind. If you don’t have the space for a pond, try installing a fountain. They sell plug in fountains in all shapes and sizes. The sound of water running is very zen, ethereal, relaxing and magical!
Last, but not least, pick seating that works with your theme: Wicker & wrought iron both blend beautifully into an enchanted gardens. Perhaps you desire a more exotic, Moroccan feel? There are many options for that look, such as hanging candle lit lanterns in bold colors from low hanging tree branches.
Where do I go to find garden design inspiration? I visit Pier 1 Imports or Home Goods, every time I walk in both of those stores, my eyes light up like a kid in a candy store and the inspiration flows like a river!
