Victoria's Secret Garden & Nursery
I meant to do my work today --
but a brown bird sang in the apple tree
and a butterfly flitted across the field,
and all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
tossing the grasses to and fro,
and a rainbow held out its shining hand --
so what could I do but laugh and go?
Richard le Galliene
What's so "secret" about Victoria's Secret Garden? Each season brings its little surprises - things I've forgotten I'd planted the year before. My garden seems to be keeping these secrets, waiting for the perfect moment when my forgotten plantings reward me with the gifts of joy, wonder, and beauty.
Gardening nourishes my soul, calms my anxieties, and rewards me with a greater sense of accomplishment than I ever received from quarterly performance appraisals or commendations hanging on an office wall. Leaving corporate America behind many years ago, I started Victoria's Secret Garden to extend my lifelong passion for gardening into a business.
I invite you to explore my website
and I hope our gardening paths cross again soon.
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.
-- "In the Garden", C. Austin Miles --
