A secret garden is a place that transports you to another place and time. It is a place of refuge, peace and solace. It could be as simple as creating a cozy nook in the corner of your property, sheltered by hedges or it could be a bench placed beneath a large tree. It can be created in a corner of your house where you could place a lounge chair and thus have a quiet place to read or nap. Point is, all it takes to create a secret garden is to make it so there is a process of discovery, either by surrounding the area with tall shrubs or creating a "switchback" so that the pathway isn't obvious. You can also use teak screens or potted plants to hide your secret spot. Your garden is an extension of your home, live in it and remember to fill your garden with joy!
