Gardens Beyond Spring Gate

All of us, I believe, carry a memory of Eden. Life began in that garden and, for me, many of the good things in life are still to be found in gardens. When I came upon the blooming spring gate, I accepted its invitation to explore – partly to satisfy a secret longing for the splendid gardens. I expected to discover within. And, since this is a locale of the imagination, I haven’t been disappointed. The gardens beyond spring gate are as sumptuous and satisfying as I can make them.

The manor house, as grand and imposing as it is, serves as a gateway to this marvelous garden. Though the glowing windows and smoking chimneys of the house create an inviting setting, the overwhelming beauty of the gardens draws you in to explore every nook. Once you have entered, the gentle, fragrant breezes and the calming trickle of water will keep you wandering endlessly. What could possibly be closer to paradise?
