It's really no wonder that countless stories take place in gardens or borrow elements of nature to convert a simple story into a masterpiece. They really are miraculous. I am constantly amazed when seemingly overnight a zucchini goes from just a fiery blossom to a squash. How does the water, sunshine, and soil make something so vital to our lives? Even knowing the science of it doesn't make it less majestic.
Our favorite stories borrow from gardens, where as children we held our breath as Peter rabbit narrowly escapes Farmer McGregor after munching in his garden all day, or dreamed of riding in a splendid carriage fashioned out of a pumpkin, it's curling tendrils providing the wheels. How many of your peeked among the flowers and wondered if a tiny girl could really emerge from the petals like Thumbelina? I know I did.
Walking along the boxes of continually changing plants I find myself in awe and I wanted to share some pictures. Oh how I love summer gardens.
