Mandala Market Gardens

The concept for the mandala market garden came from reading a book The Permaculture Home Garden by Linda Woodrow. The mandala concept came from the ancient Sanskrit word for circle and encompasses the circle of life and the planets and much more.The Tibetan monks do beautiful sand mandalas as a form of meditation and being in my garden is a meditative experience for me too.
