Landscape pros share prayer garden suggestions
Landscaping can provide so many opportunities to customize the outdoor space around your home, business or vacation property. The great thing about professional landscape design is the ability to create the ideal space for your needs, and many people like to plan a space of quiet reflection and relaxation on their property.
We are seeing an increasing number of requests for outdoor spaces which feature prayer gardens. Whether you are looking for a place of quiet reflection, a place of spiritual communication or a way to remember a lost loved one, a prayer garden can be a feature of your home which allows for connection to a higher power.
Our landscape design company specializes in creating completely custom landscape designs for our clients in the Fort Myers area, and we are proud to have served the landscaping design needs of Southwest Florida for many years. We use our years of experience and state-of-the-art technology to create truly one of a kind back yards, gardens, entryways and much more.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at some of the best ways to use landscape design when creating the ideal prayer garden, and incorporating our experience used for past designs to hopefully give you a spark of inspiration if you’re also considering adding a prayer garden to your landscaping project.
Separate The Space
Most clients seeking a prayer garden want a space where they can go to be alone in nature. Whether your property has a vast area to be landscaped or you are working with a smaller space, we have creative ways to make your prayer garden its own space among your landscaping.
We have used trellises with crawling flowering plants, walkways which end in a circular design with a feature in the middle, walls of hedges and many more design elements depending on the need of the space and desire of the client to create a separated but intimate area for prayer and reflection.
Add a Feature Piece
Whether it’s for comfort or to add a relaxing element to the space, adding a centerpiece for the garden to be designed around can add a sense of intentionality to the space. Perhaps it’s a bench, fountain, trellis or larger tree, but having a focal point will help the design of the prayer garden to grow around the important piece.
Make It Personal
Your prayer garden is a place for you to reflect and it should be designed with a purpose. While our landscape design and install team is happy to make recommendations on accents, feature pieces and the overall design, our happiest clients are the ones who dedicate their prayer gardens to a family member, a passage which impacts them or any other sentimental elements.
Adding a loved one’s favorite flowers, an inscription of an important passage or other meaningful item can elevate the garden and add a sense of peace.
If you’re in Southwest Florida and looking to add a prayer garden to your home, our team would be happy to help design the ideal space. Give Peer Landscaping a call today with any questions and/or to get your consultation started!
