Every month, escape to a private, verdant sanctuary. Featuring a dozen secret gardens—hidden retreats of lush greenery, patches of sunlight, gorgeous blooms, and perhaps a weathered fountain and stone path winding its way through—this calendar is a balm for the soul. Yew-covered arches open up to a sunny garden room. Flashes of deep burgundy inspire romance in an Italian-style garden. And a cushioned bench beneath branches of blush-white “Venusta Pendula” blossoms is just the encouragement you need to sit and stay awhile. Accompanying the photographs are detailed descriptions of the featured gardens and transporting quotes.
