Let's get lost
Beannachtaí ó (or greetings from) Greenan Maze in Ireland! This family farm in Greenan, a small village in County Wicklow, has a hedge maze and a meditative labyrinth path, both in the 'celtic maze' style. Mazes are a common artistic symbol in artefacts from ancient Celtic settlements. Historians suggest they were linked to spiritual practices, often associated with the journey of the dead into the afterlife. And in modern life, they can be an inspiration for creative hedge mazes. Are you rethinking your garden design too - or is that just us?
