We don’t quite know why we have a need for a garden. It often comes from a feeling—an urge for something calmer, gentler, more grounded. We have a need for a space where the pace slows, where even in a world full of noise, there can be quiet; where beauty can be shaped with care and patience.

Across civilizations and centuries, the idea of paradise has often taken the form of a garden. Step beneath a canopy of leaves after the glare of the sun; hear water’s gentle trickle; catch the sweetness of blossoms on the air.
