Creating Sanctuary – submitted by sara on June 17, 2020, 6:56pm A bit too whoo-whoo (yes, it’s a literary term) for me. I like the idea of creating a sanctuary garden, but, wouldn’t need to include smudging or meditating to make my garden. There are some useful herbal recipes (pine needle and cider vinegar cleaner) but I’m not sure if they would actually work as intended.
