Why do some gardens make us feel so wonderful, relaxed and
refreshed? Using ideas based on ancient and modern practices, this
book shows how you can uplift yourself and others in a serene
setting designed for “unplugging” and relaxing. Whether you are
intending to create a lovely garden or just thinking about a future
outdoor haven, Heaven is a Garden will help you see your backyard
in a whole new light and reawaken an awareness of the wonders of
Nature. “Simplicity, Sanctuary and Delight” is the guideline
that noted landscape designer Jan Johnsen recommends in this
elegantly written book. She draws on her 40 years in the profession
and offers stunning visuals and specific ways to make a garden look
glorious and feel harmonious at the same time. She reveals how to
highlight a power spot, explores the lure of the sheltered corner,
explains why a gate facing East is considered auspicious and
suggests which trees you can use to impart a special atmosphere.
Gardeners will also enjoy the chapters on the mysteries of color, a
rock’s resonance and the magic of water. All in all, this gem of
a book is a thoroughly enjoyable guide that you will refer to over
and over. Jan Johnsen writes the popular ‘Serenity in the
Garden’ blog and Facebook page. Her firm’s website is
