Today I went on a garden tour. It turned out to be a magical adventure. One of the gardens I went to was on five acres of forest that the couple added a pathway and sprinkled art along the way. It was a Magical Forest Garden.
“It would seem from this fact, that man is naturally a wild animal, and that when taken from the woods, he is never happy in his natural state, ’till he returns to them again.” – Benjamin Rush
What made the garden so magical was that they let Mother Nature show off her glory. It’s amazing what a walk through such a serene environment can do for the soul. At the other gardens, people were loud and chatting away. Through this garden, it was a hushed environment…even though there were the same amount of people. I think that everyone knew that they were dipping their toes into enchantment and they wanted to soak up every drop.
Are you ready to start your journey in the Magical Forest Garden?
Look at the way the light streams through these gorgeous trees…
How about if we look up into the sky?
This tree trunk deserves a moment of your time…
A pathway was added to take us deeper in the woods…
The artist created a beautiful wall to blend with the environment…
Look at the gorgeous moss…
This view takes my breath away…
Magnificent black glass stones were added to sparkle in the sunlight…
An arbor blends in wonderfully with the surroundings…
Such a simple, yet stunning display…
The treasures you find along the way…
Look at how this wall matches so gracefully with the forest…
Are you tired? Let’s sit awhile…
Rested? Good. Let’s continue on the path…
Watch your step…
Farewell magical house in the forest…
Thank you for your exquisite beauty…
That concludes your journey into the Magical Forest Garden. I hope you feel a little bit more peace in your heart.

Hi Noreen! Thank you so much for the comment! I love open spaces too. I've never understood why people love lawns instead of natural settings! Thanks again, Kelly

This "walk" gave me a sense of calm as I could almost smell the damp earth, pine and moss along the path! And was a nice respite from the cold winter here in Virginia right now. Thanks for sharing nature ...

Thank you so much for the comment Sheryl. It was magical. Every garden that I went to everyone was so chatty. This one was just silence. I think everyone was in awe. Sometimes we forget that nature is just amazing. It was so wonderful to see a couple that knew that.
