Blessed Mary Garden

As I obsess about designing our backyard, one important thing that I would like to incorporate is a Mary garden. Wouldn't it be nice to have a statue of the Blessed Mary and honor her in one part of the garden? I think it would also bring a peaceful and meditative element to the yard. Here are some photos I found:

Gardens are so much work but boy aren't they worth it.

My best friend has one of these, Marie. The statue I like best is the one of Mary that looks like it's tucked up in the plants. I also like the second one (I think that's it). You could incorporate it into a niche in your yard with Mary as the focal point. Pretty!

Happy Outdoor Wednesday...

XO,

I would love that too, Marie. I have a big Virgin Mary but it's an indoor one. A grotto outside would be nice. BTW, you've just been tagged!....Christine
