Silence and solitude in the garden
I took a trip to the Descanso Gardens this past week to spend some time in prayer, reflection, and solitude; spiritual disciplines I've been trying to cultivate since college. It was so nice to be out in a beautiful garden on a warm, sunny day. I also grew up coming here and enjoyed a bit of nostalgia . . .
I was also inspired by the garden itself. I started to imagine my dream garden. I've decided it would be filled with:
Citrus trees
Olive trees
Pomegranates
Avocados
Persimmons
Rosemary and other herbs
Heirloom tomatoes
Succulents
Bougainvillea
Lilacs
Lots of orbs and decorative cylinders . . . (yes, I subscribe to Sunset magazine).
What would you grow in your dream garden (or what do you grow currently)?
