Mary's Garden

[GoldenEagle]

I have a garden that I would like to put a Mary's Garden in, has anyone ever made a Mary's Garden ?

My garden is 25' X 25' and 45' around that is a 1/4 of a cycle.
I wish I had pictures to show you.
I am unsure how to put pictures on here. I agree that it would help.
What perennials would you use in the garden?
The garden is in full sun, clay soil, with a ST Frances Statue and a Birdbath in the garden.It faces West

What is a Mary's Garden? I googled and nothing came up.

I just googled Mary's Garden as I had not heard of it either. It is apparently a small sacred garden including a statue or shrine of the Virgin Mary. Could't see whether it calls for particular flowers to qualify as an authentic Mary's Garden.

I have seen many with a "Pan's Garden", which includes a small shrine and a statue of the God Pan. That is one of the reasons why there are so many Pan statues sold everywhere. Plants typically used in the garden include Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus), Orchids, etc. I have never heard of a "Mary's Garden" before.
