Labyrinth

From EcoReality

Contents

Need

The need to feel grounded and connected to the earth.

Description

I was thinking of putting a labyrinth in the wooded area, but then Shannon mentioned having a flower garden just below the deck area and a little light came on with the idea that the labyrinth and the flower garden could be combined!

Goal or deliverable

To lay out the labyrinth in a roughly 50' x 60' area. This would have a 2' path and 2' flower border between the paths and possibly a bench at the center.

Timeline, schedule, or end date

Start this winter, with mulching. Layout when grass is dead. Planting in spring.

Plan

  • Removal of retaining wall and stairs leading to small room under house, and leveling the ground.
  • Lay down newspaper or cardboard and mulch.
  • Measure and design.
  • Buy plants and materials.


Financial budget

Guesstimate: about $200 in materials.

Labor budget

  • Carol: 10 hours measuring, planning, and design.
  • Carol + others: 20 hours construction.
