With every glance, enter a private sanctuary insulated from the outside world: lush with greenery and blooming flowers, filled with soothing sounds of birdsong, overlaid with shifting patterns of sun and shade. Each month, The Secret Garden Calendar showcases a verdant garden retreat beautifully photographed in full color. Fragile blossoms stand out against a display thick with grapevines. A fragrant rose arbor invites meditation and a glass of wine at day’s end. And a carpet of blazing fall leaves announces a grand finale to a year of riotous color. Gardening quotations and appreciations accompany the photographs.
