Elizabeth blends beautiful images
with lively conversation about Monet's garden, life as a painter
and how to incorporate ideas from his gardens to our own gardens
at home, using extensive slides she has taken over the past 15 years
of Monet's Gardens in all seasons blended with historic photos and
Monet's painting.
Elizabeth describes use and cross-cultural
meaning of various garden design elements, icons and concepts, like
Feng Shui, healing and horticultural therapy, and how we can use
them in our own gardens. Illustrating with slides, she shows 12
very different sacred gardens from around the world from the Moss
Temple in Kyoto, Japan to a reclaimed ghetto garden in the "bad
lands" of Philadelphia.
