DESCRIPTION:
Excerpt. With understanding and acknowledgment, we can turn our own gardens into places of sanctuary. Gardening is a vehicle for spiritual and emotional connection. The garden can become a place where we can restore our emotional and spiritual balance and nourish our sense and souls, away from the noise of everyday life. What is "sacred" space? It is a place of dedication, where the miracles of life and growth are acknowledged as evidence of something larger than ourselves. It is, when you think about it, nothing short of miraculous: You kneel, dig a bit, drop in a seed, add waters, and wait. . The Latin word for "sacred" gives us the word "sanctuary," denoting not only a sacred space but also a place of refuge and protection. © Reprinted by
