SPIRALS

The spiral is found everywhere in nature, especially in the way things grow, like shells or plants. The spiral also has a connection with gardens, especially herb gardens. Hildegarde Von Bingen, an Abbess from the 12th century, was influenced spiritually and practically by plants and herbs and likely created the first spiral herb gardens.
