I went for a walk in the Nashville's Centennial Park today a lunchtime. I did not have a lot of time, but I decided I would walk around the lake so that I could visit the Sunken Garden. I missed out on seeing the tulips earlier in the year so I thought I would see what was planted to come up next. A walk through such a garden is calming to the spirit.
To contemplate a single flower can be a mesmerizing experience.
For the gardener, the garden is his canvas. Each flower is placed in a particular spot within a bed in the garden so that together the flowers are a story of color and dimension. I like the artistry of such gardens and the plans that go into them. That being said, I like the wild gardens that no man has planted. Even in an urban park, nature will find away.
