wonderful and inspiring

Gardens for the Soul is a wonderful and inspiring book filled with beautiful pictures. If you are looking for a "how to build a pond, steps 1, 2, 3" kind of book, this is not the right one for you. Pamela Woods has a vast knowledge of various ancient systems and symbolism which she incorporates in her garden designs in a subtle and yet powerful way. The book doesn't go into each option in debth, that would explode the size of the book is not aimed. The author gives the reader rather a different view of gardening. Whatever your spiritual inclination there is a way to incorporate it in a garden design to make it a garden for the soul. This book is so inspiring that you might feel that building a sacred garden is your purpose of life where you can be at peace with yourself and the world. A very different gardening book. Enjoy!
