If you're going to spend any time in your elemental garden -- and you'll need to, if you don't want your plants to die -- it's not a bad idea to add accessories that make you feel at home. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you might want to consider some of the following:
- Statues of the gods of your tradition
- A gazing ball
- A fountain or other water feature
- A fire bowl
- A small altar
- A bench or chair for meditation
- Wind chimes or bells
- A prayer pole or decorative flag
To tie in the accessories to the elemental theme, consider a water feature in the south corner, a small brazier to the west, a pile of stones in the north, or a decorative flag on the eastern portion. Any of these will be perfect for bringing you closer to the elements in your garden. Make your garden a place where you can sit and reflect, and it will indeed be a spiritual and magical place!
