I have always liked to visit public gardens that have mazes because I like to get into them and practically play hide and seek. I had always thought that having a garden with labyrinths at home would be spectacular, but I thought it could be too ambitious or perhaps too complicated … and nothing is further from the truth, having a labyrinth at home is possible and in addition to tools you will only need patience.

To make a labyrinth in the garden you can do it with different structures, which can be simple so that you do not get too complicated or perhaps something more elaborate. My favorites are the mazes with hedges, grass, plants or flowers. Would you like to know how to make a labyrinth in the garden?

The type of maze

The type of labyrinth you choose for your garden should be in accordance with the type of garden you have and especially with its size, the materials you have, the time you have to invest in your garden, of the climatic conditions of your place of residence and above all, of the desire you have to create it.

There are those who prefer mazes with hedges or plants so that they last a long time and be able to enjoy the plants as well as having a fun and sophisticated maze, but of course this type of maze will take time and dedication.

Others prefer a temporary and fun maze made with recyclable materials like wood, stone or whatever the imagination at that moment says.

How to do it?

First you will need organize the space where you want the labyrinth in you garden and you will have to measure the space to know exactly where you want to place the maze.

Then I advise you that before getting down to work you take a piece of paper and draw (try to make it to real scale) what you have in mind, that is, draw the labyrinth as you want it to be, both the shape and the entry and exit points. Once you have it in mind, it will be your point of reference to start making your maze.

Next, and according to your written plan, mark the rows where you want the plants to be on the ground with masking tape and where you want them to grow. Then you should start planting your hedges or the plants you have chosen to organize the labyrinth, remember to leave space between the rows where the plants will be placed so that people can pass, a little more than half a meter would be enough.

In the growth process remember to take care of your plants continuously so that they grow strong and healthy and have a showy appearance, likewise you should not forget the importance to pay it during the year so that keep strong.
