Well three really because I am always interested in these early 20th century american gardens.
But one point is the Thermopsis, which does it all so early and has that funny slatey blue cast to the stems and leaves and no one ever mentions it or uses it!
The second is the poem, which I truly think is dreadful, but does make the point of finding God in gardens – in fact it says, not God in gardens-outrageous!
Wotever god is of course to any of us.
I would have said I was irreligious!
But some afternoons recently alone in the garden I have come the closest I have ever come to some kind of fulfilment, peace, understanding, I almost don’t know what to call it.
So yes God in gardens! Whatever we think that means for us.
Best

If only all adversity resulted in such things that are “lovesome”! The hardscape, pool, sculpture and relation with plantings are so inviting and peaceful.
