Ideas for an easter garden?
I am going into school with my daughter on wednesday to enter an easter garden competition!!!!! Any ideas to help would be great. you cannot use anything man-made.
The flowers i have thought of using are impatiens(touch me nots) to represent mary Magdalene.
White rose. The flower to represent the Resurrection and the thorns the thorn crown.
and Forget me nots.
any other ideas would be great as i am a total novice!!!

Definitely the Lily.
A Rose: for Christ (Rose of Sharon)
Palm Leaves (the path leading to the garden)
Lilacs: for the smell
Grass: for the foundation on which we base our faith
Have you ever seen an ‘Egret’ flower? I saw a picture of some egret flowers and they look just like birds. That could represent a Dove.
One of those fountains of a cherub peeing.
Tulips
I always liked Daffodils.
I would recommend using google image:

the images should give you some inspiration. I would make it as much like a natural landscape as possible and if possible use plants you have in your garden.
The Lily should get a look-in because its symbolism for spring and Easter goes way back. Add to that if you can, a few stems of Iris (the symbol of important messages).
