Make your own Easter Garden

Published: April 20, 2020

You could say that Easter began in a garden. Therefore, a good place for an Easter Garden is outside. You can use a part of your garden if you have one. Or you could set aside a small space near the house – for example – a window sill.

Mary O'Boyles Easter Garden

The Easter Garden is a Sacred Space. The garden gives you a place where you can speak to God. You can listen to God. You can place your intentions before God. Set aside a little time every day to pray either alone or with other members of your family.
