Before we start officially planting the garden or even really working with it it's a good idea have a garden blessing over it the location. When placing a blessing on anything you are asking the elements, and Deities to watch over and help us. We use 5 branches again from our Yule celebration. Place them at each corner of the garden then one in the center. I then attach a symbol of each element to represent it. I then say a blessing as I place each one. Feathers for air so that the birds will leave it be. A water gauge for the water element may this garden never thirst The stick will represent Earth let their roots be strong and healthy A sundial to represent the Fire element may each seedling seek the suns rays In the center I place a stick with a heart may the crops helps us to be strong. We do this to connect all the elements and the elemental spirits to our garden. This will not only provide strong yield when we harvest it will also provide a strong connection to the deities.
