“Without an image, you can’t design a garden. To design is to transform — taking one place and making it into something else, into more than what it once was. To be able to transform something means that you must be able to see beyond the existing scenario to something quite new: to an image that appears in your mind’s eye. It is in this leap from reality to imagination that the design process becomes magical . . . ” Julie Messervey, The Inward Garden. As we settle into our winter gardening lives, imagination takes over and we create the dreams that will in the spring and summer become our realities.
