Présentation de l'éditeur

For many gardeners, gardening is a moving meditation that brings peace and deep relaxation. At times, however, repetitive chores can feel more stressful than soothing. The authors of THE SANCTUARY GARDEN remind us that being in the garden (as opposed to active gardening) is a way to honour the intrinsic relatedness of people and plants. To help us get beyond our busyness, they identify seven key design elements that can turn a garden into a living retreat or sanctuary.
A special entrance marks our departure from the outside world. Water, the symbol of life, brings flow and reflection to the garden. The thoughtful use of colour and the play of light can be contrived to deliberately evoke emotions - peace, comfort, awe and respect. Natural features like sculptural rocks, wind song, and fragrance can become focal points for our attention. Finally we can create attractive habitat for birds and animals, broadening our sense of connectedness to the natural world in a wholesome, healing way. The book creates a challenge: where is your sanctuary? Answering that may expand both your garden and your spirit.
