The Secret Garden
2020 La Conner in Bloom Challenge

“It was the sweetest, most mysterious-looking place any one could imagine. The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of climbing roses which were so thick they were matted together.”

“Don’t let us make it tidy,” said Mary seriously. “It wouldn’t seem like a secret garden if it was tidy.”

“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.”

                                 Excerpts, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
