This month's topic on the Garden Designers Roundtable, during which we learn for free things that other people pay for, is therapy and healing in the garden, including labyrinths and sacred spaces.
Jenny Peterson, of J. Peterson Designs, explains the difference between a labyrinth and a maze and provides a photo gallery of some fabulous labyrinths, including one of fire!
In addition, you can see what all the members of the Roundtable had to say on the topic by follow the links to their blogs.

As Jenny says, a labyrinth is a flat surface containing an intricately designed pathway, while a maze is a left-brained puzzle, full of different pathways containing tricks and turns.
Mazes are "fun, but not therapeutic," she writes.

I tend to think that all garden spaces are healing, therapeutic and spiritual. But that's just me.
