Step into your own little paradise. Far off the well-worn path, concealed by a high hedge or overgrown fence, the secret garden is a sanctuary for the mind, body, and spirit. "The Secret Garden Calendar" opens the gate to a dozen inviting retreats, each one a living tapestry of sunlight, vibrant blooms, greenery, and weathered stone. Through an arbor, an exuberant jumble of antique roses. Blossoms in pink, red, and yellow make a colorful splash against a whitewashed brick wall. A pair of chairs sits invitingly in the shade of a giant maple. Romantic, peaceful, and restorative, these gardens indulge the senses and inspire contemplation, all year long. Photographs are accompanied by gardening quotations, tips, and appreciations.
