We initially outlined the Labyrinth with pine cones and small branches. They soon disappeared into the earth. We tried large seashells. They looked nice but they made an awful racket when cutting the grass. We finally decided to go with grass on grass.
The entrance to the Labyrinth was at the north end and we walked to the east, following the sun.
The "middle" of the Labyrinth is really not the "Middle". We had a difficult time figuring out how to mark that spot or rather what do we mark it with--something special, for sure. Our dear friends came to our rescue and gave us a sundial that fit perfectly.
Time went by and we found the Labyrinth to be a lot of work. We didn't particularly like cutting the path in +100 degree F weather with high humidity. The Labyrinth finally grew out of control and became a maze

Thank you for visiting my blog.
Cool to try! I can't imagine the work it would take to get a full blown hedge maze someday.

DeleteThe monthly upkeep of having a labyrinth would have to be hard work. The sundial sounds like the perfect thing for the center.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and leaving a comment. Monthly? More like weekly in the summer.
Deletewouldn't it be great to have a magic labyrinth that didn't take any work to maintain?

There are some labyrinths painted on canvass somewhat popular among churches. But you have to really look for them.
DeleteI can only imagine the upkeep, but I think a labyrinth in the back yard would be cool. I envision it being very peaceful and calming.
ReplyDeleteWalking the Labyrinth is a walking meditation. It can be spiritual.
