"a mini ring of standing stones, preferably with the aid of some dousing wires to find an old ley line. Then if you are into folk music and legends get a book of herbals and try to theme it around a mystics garden with wolfbane, digitalis, ladys tresses etc." Yeah, I love those kinds of 'fey' plants. Grew some from seed in past but we've moved around a bit though so need to start from scratch. Hadn't considered a 'feature' before but it's a charming idea. I like the idea of dowsing out the garden first too. As a folk-loric aside, who do I appease when building a new garden, and how? Are there any wee sprites that I should put honey or something out for before digging up their turf? Don't want to annoy the residents!
