The Green Man is a forest deity who is depicted as a human face surrounded by foliage. He controls all green and growing things and ensures that crops grow and pastures are lush. Request his aid to protect your garden during the current waxing Moon in spring. To start, form a human figure from garden material. Immerse the figure in a bowl or body of water. Place the figure among your garden plants, and recite this charm:

Father of green leaves, Bringer of rain,
Bring forth the flowers,
Herbs, and grain.
Protect soil and plants
from all pests.
Let this garden be blessed.

Sprinkle some water around the garden.
