Mindful Adjustments

The Mindful Garden is definitely my favourite spot in the Magickal Garden at the moment :)

I have moved the pixies as they conjure all kinds of interesting thoughts and detracted from the peaceful nature of the Mindful Garden. I think they look happy in their new location :)

Next up is introducing these carnivorous wonders to the bog section of the garden :)
