What a Garden can Offer
"I am the garden, and every morning am I revealed to you
in new beauty. Observe how I am adorned and you will
reap the benefit of a commentary on decoration. How many
delightful prospects I enfold! Prospects in which the
enlightened mind finds the fulfillment of every desire."
(Inscription on a wall of the
Alhambra's
"Hall of the Sisters")
Your garden can be a haven that offers you a peaceful and inviting place away from
yet in the world;
● a piece of the earth that will be all your own where you will be able to unwind and
let down your hair after a week filled with hard work and bumper-to-bumper
commutes;
● a place where you can settle down, cast aside your cares, enjoy your coffee, and
read your paper or that book you've been meaning to tackle;
● a place where you can go to be alone and away from people, to relax, to be
yourself, to daydream, and to contemplate life and all of its foibles;
● a place where you can re-unite with nature, smell its flowers, be caressed
by its
gentle breezes, enjoy its avian symphony, and be amused by the antics of the
squirrels;
● and, if you wish, a place where you can grow the biggest roses, the plumpest and
reddest tomatoes, the juiciest corn, the sweetest strawberries, the spiciest herbs,
and the greenest peppers the world has ever known!
In short,
... your garden may be a place where you can find the peace and tranquility to
regain your strength, to restore your soul, and to regenerate your spirit!
For our most favorite example of all that a garden can be, be sure to take our
"Virtual Tour of the Gardens at Dumbarton Oaks."
