A Secret Garden

Remember the movie The Secret Garden?

I watched that movie with some of my children years ago and loved it.

It made me dream about having a secret garden of my own one day. A place that is hidden from the rest of the world..all mine. A place to dream.

Imagine having a special place to sit and relax that's all your own.

Hidden behind a door...

And Stone walls...

A Garden Room with lots of beautiful flowers

And a few interesting inhabitants..

And climbing roses everywhere.

My Secret Garden would have to have one of

these tucked into a corner...

And have the soothing sound of a fountain

in the background

What would your Secret Garden be Like?

Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photography said...: I agree Pondie...a pond with some Koi and a bench amongst the ferns and Japanese Maples. It doesn't get much better than that does it. You HAVE the ultimate Secret Garden right in your own back yard...lucky woman!; June 8, 2010 at 9:35 AM

Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photography said...: Hi Angie, I love that picture too and the last one with the fountain. I LOVE that mossy look. I think I'd have to have a large secret garden if I'm going to have shady areas with moss AND roses!....oh well I can dream can't I ;); June 8, 2010 at 9:39 AM

Debbie said...: Well, for a minute there I thought your lovely Lilac Lane included a Secret Garden as well. I was girding myself against the green eyed monster.

I'll bet you WILL have one some day, though!

My secret garden hides behind a little gate surrounded by dense greenery. Inside, it has a fountain, and little walking paths, and a bench just for reading.

Of course, it all lives in this head of mine. Somewhere in a nook or cranny hidden away at Pine Knoll.; June 8, 2010 at 3:53 PM
