BOOK REVIEWS BY LAURENSON LANDSCAPE DESIGN

SANCTUARY: GARDENING FOR THE SOUL

Lauri Brunton and Erin Fournier

This book was published by Friedman/Fairfax: New York in 1999. To quote from the book:

 

For many of us, it is in the solitude and safety of a garden that we experience the deepest sense of peace.

 

I couldn't agree more!

'Sanctuary' is broken down into chapters based on particular characteristics of sanctuary gardens: peace, change, passion, mystery and contemplation. The writers give some key questions to help readers determine what their personal sanctuary gardens might look like:

·          What is your ideal sanctuary?

·          Where do you feel most protected?

·          How did the places of your childhood console and inspire you?

·          What pleasing scents, colours, and shapes can you recall?

 

Perhaps this will get you started in thinking about your ideal sanctuary.
