Product Description

The allure of the private world, the mystery of what's hidden, and the pleasure of being allowed to peek. Every month, find a place of respite and rejuvenation. Open the gate, find a break in the hedge. Follow the birds. Sunlight, layers of greenery, water, a found object here and there--composed by a gardener's vision, it is a place apart from the world. For 2006, Smith and Hawken's SECRET GARDEN CALENDAR features twelve sanctuaries that engulf all who enter--even if just in a daydream--in peace and serenity. A rocky stream flanked by colourful wildflowers. A bench beneath a glorious blooming crabapple--an invitation to sit, meditate, and contemplate. Accompanying the photographs are sidebars with quotes and appreciations.
