Personally, I consider any garden that is intended for use in healing as a magical garden, so in my opinion, witches gardens have been around for over 5,000 years!īefore doctors became the go-to for any ailments, people would travel to find a man or woman who had knowledge of herbal lore and a garden in order to cure themselves. Witches Gardens in Historyĭid you know that witches gardens have been around for a very long time? I’m not sure that you would have called them “witches gardens” originally, due to the term “witch” being a less than desirable title for a good length of time, but nonetheless healing gardens have old origins.Įarly history has shown the use of medicinal plants as treatments for illnesses as early as 3000BC, with other evidence pointing to the use of herbs as healing tools as early as 60,000 years ago. Seeing a plant grow from a tiny, dried seed seems miraculous sometimes.
This has to be one of the most magical things ever. Overall, I’d say a witch’s garden, no matter how small it is, is a wonderful tool which can heal, protect and provide for you both magically and physically. It can grow produce which you can use your kitchen spells. It provides healing plants so that you can cure small problems naturally.

Plants all over the house create the most magical atmosphere and bring a little bit of nature into the house. Don’t get me wrong, I dream of a sprawling plot to garden in often but due to my current city-loving ways this isn’t currently an achievable option so I’ve learned to compromise! To me, this is just as much a witch’s garden as a sprawling plot filled with herbs, flowers and trees.

I do however have a little natural light through a few of my windows and an abundance of pots with plants in them all over the house. I don’t have a balcony and I don’t have that much space. In order to make sure no one feels excluded, I just want to clarify that you don’t have to have an actual outdoor garden in order to create a witch’s garden! I, for example, live in an apartment.
