Oberon's Garden!
Oberon is the king of all of the fairies in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
who is feuding with his wife Titania, the queen of the fairies.
They are fighting over a baby that Oberon wants to raise as his henchman.
Titania wants to keep the baby because he is the child of Titania's mortal follower who died,
and she wants to raise the child for her follower.
Because Oberon and Titania are powerful fairies, their arguments affect the weather.
Titania describes what happens to nature when they argue, saying:
" Therefore the winds, piping to us in vain,
As in revenge, have suck'd up from the sea
Contagious fogs; which falling in the land
Have every pelting river made so proud
That they have overborne their continents:
The ox hath therefore stretch'd his yoke in vain,
The ploughman lost his sweat, and the green corn
Hath rotted ere his youth attain'd a beard;
The fold stands empty in the drowned field,
And crows are fatted with the murrion flock;
The nine men's morris is fill'd up with mud,
And the quaint mazes in the wanton green
For lack of tread are undistinguishable:
The human mortals want their winter here;
No night is now with hymn or carol blest:
Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,
Pale in her anger, washes all the air,
That rheumatic diseases do abound:
And thorough this distemperature we see
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set: the spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,
By their increase, now knows not which is which:
And this same progeny of evils comes
From our debate, from our dissension;
We are their parents and original."
(Act 2, Scene 1)
Furious that Titania will not give him the child, he puts juice from a magical flower into her eyes while she is asleep.
The effect of the juice is that it will cause Titania to fall in love with the first thing she sees.
Titania awakens and finds herself madly in love with Bottom,
a weaver that has been given a donkey's head by Puck.
Meanwhile, two couples have entered the forest: Hermia and Lysander are pursued by Demetrius,
who also loves Hermia,and Helena, who loves Demetrius.
Oberon sends Puck to put some of the juice in Demetrius's eyes to make him fall in love with Helena,
after he witnesses him rejecting her.
When Puck puts the love potion on Lysander by mistake,
and then on Demetrius, Helena finds herself loved by two men, and confusion breaks out.
After Puck straightens out what he has done, and Demetrius discovers that he is really in love with Helena after all,
Oberon looks upon Titania and her lover,
Bottom, and feels sorry for what he has done. He reverses the spell and when Titania awakes the two reunit.

For me Oberon's Garden is a magical place where my imagination and the realm of myth,
mystery and enchantment has become real.
This is where my faeries, dragons, gnomes and creatures
and things that have not even been thought of yet can be expressed and accepted.
I am now ready to share this with you!

but many things that will help you make your garden or home a welcoming place for enchantment and beauty.
