My daughter’s favorite author is Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of Little Princess and the Secret Garden and we just recently began reading the Secret Garden again. It’s a story that has been made into a movie a variety of times over the years. My favorite part is when spring hits the garden and the variety of flowering trees, bushes, roses and perennials come to life. Sure wish that would happen here. But we just got dumped on with snow I can barely see out the window let alone see the crocuses peaking out from the dirt.
I was checking out what’s happening over at Cold Climate gardening and discovered that the illustrator for The Secret Garden, Tasha Tudor lives in Vermont and offers tours of her real life garden.
Do you have a fantasy garden from a book or movie that you’d love to recreate in your own secret garden?
