[Artemisia] A Garden for Reflection

[Dawn Tavares]

<boing!!>
Did someone say **garden**?
 
 
Mstrss. Caointern set my chlorophyl detector spinning:

Eagerly. As was discussed earlier, the plants would all have to be congruent with the land's use as a working hay farm.

I'd love to know that information just for my own garden, if nothing else.
I'm not certain my "Powis Castle" survived the backhoe digging for the sewer line.
 
 
And Mstrss. Constance set the rose center in my brain to overdrive:
 
>Most chapel  gardens were planned with the scents and colors and supposed >effects of the  plants in mind.  There were even (usually westerly facing) >gardens  specifically for sitting in the evening where the plants were the type to >bloom and/or show better in the moonlight. 
This would make a lovely, romantic counterpoint to a long day of hot, rigorous activities.
Right now it's taking all my will power NOT to compose a list of period flowers and herbs for this yet-to-be-built project.
 
And right about now Duke Alan probably has his head in his hands, moaning "what have I got myself into?!"
