The author invites readers to look within themselves, use their imaginations, and create an original garden that is beautiful and personally meaningful--a garden that reflects the soul. Moir Messervy suggests that memories of places we loved in childhood can play significant roles in fashioning a pleasing garden for our adult years. She mentioned caves, the sea, harbors, promontories, islands, mountains and the sky as archetypes with special meanings for us that we can re-create in our gardens.
