SOUL GARDENS - HOW YOUR VENUS SIGN REFLECTS THE GARDENS YOU LOVE AND CREATE

Graham Boston

Just as your Sun Sign shapes your identity and your Moon Sign your emotions, your Venus Sign governs beauty, pleasure and what you're drawn to - making it the perfect astrological guide to garden style. Are you drawn to Capricorn gardens of clipped yew, York stone and quiet formality, built to last for decades? Or something entirely different - bold and theatrical, soft and romantic, wild and untamed for example?

In this talk, astrologer Graham Boston introduces Soul Gardens, his original system mapping each of the twelve Venus Signs to a distinctive garden character, plant palette and colour scheme. You'll see how each sign translates into real choices: the plants and trees that suit its mood, the materials that reflect its character, and a named colour palette drawn straight from the garden itself.

Whether you're planning a border, a whole garden, or simply want a fresh way to think about colour outdoors, you'll leave with a clear sense of the garden style your own Venus Sign is drawn to, and a new way of seeing the gardens you visit.

When booking you will be asked for your birth details* so that Graham can calculate your Venus Sign in advance. Curious in the meantime? Try the Venus sign calculator at www.birthchartwisdom.com/venus-sign-calculator to find out your sign - then join Graham's talk to discover your full palette, planting and materials list.

Graham has 47 years of astrological practice and a background spanning teaching, writing, and holistic publishing. He is the author of Astrology, A Beginner's Guide (Hodder Headline) and for 30 years helped run The Aquarius Severn Astrology Society. In 2022 he was nominated for The Charles Harvey Award for Exceptional Service to Astrology.

As a wellbeing and educational charity, The Isbourne aims to make its courses and workshops accessible to all regardless of income. We have researched how other organisations fund their courses and come up with a three tier pricing system:

Supported rate: this fee is less than the Standard and allows anyone with financial challenges to still participate. You do not have to show proof, this is offered on trust. This price is limited to one per transaction.

Standard rate: this is how much we would like all participants to pay as it covers The Isbourne costs and supports the tutor.
Sponsor rate: this is a little more than the Standard fee and allows you to subsidise and support others who might not be able to pay the Standard fee.

You choose what tier of payment best suits you - no questions asked!
