In Gardens for Ghosts, spiritual and paranormal psychologist Christina Wilke-Burbach, PhD, guides readers into the sacred practice of creating memorial gardens. Blending psychology, folklore, and spiritual insight, Gardens for Ghosts explores how we can honor the dead through intentional planting and thoughtful design.From cemeteries and ancient burial grounds to intimate backyard sanctuaries, you'll discover:
The symbolic language of flowers across cultures and traditions
How to design spaces that foster remembrance, healing, and connection
