Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Located off the well-worn path, wrapped in layers of greenery and an enduring sense of mystery, the secret garden is a sanctuary for the mind and spirit. Just you, the sounds of birds and trickling water, flowers scenting the air, and perhaps a stone bench or perfectly placed chair from which to take it all in. Smith & Hawken's Secret Garden Calendar features a dozen retreats that are peaceful, beautiful, and encourage meditation and quiet contemplation. Through an archway, a naturalistic garden filled with vegetables, herbs, and flowers. A sunny poolside niche surrounded by roses and jasmine. In the shade of a dramatic weeping willow, a cushioned bench perfect for a catnap. Gardening quotations and appreciations accompany the beautiful photographs.

Secret Garden Calendar 2008
This is a very nice calendar. I have only two complaints. Since I use this calendar to inspire me to think of the warm blooming months during the Great Lakes winters, I did not like the winter scene for December. I could look out my window for that. Also, I would have liked a couple more "vista" photos rather than all close-ups of the gardens. That way I could mentally wonder down a path.

I have a secret desire to disappear into one of these gardens
When I checked the calendar last week for an appointment, I discovered that 2007 was still up and set on December. Where have I been? I found Amazon and zipped through the calendars, fully expecting nada since stores don't have calendars any more. Voila! The perfect calendar-- the Secret Garden.
I ordered, it came in. The pictures are stunning in their glorious greens and shades and, well, abundance. When I look out my patio door, I see what I call my cottage garden. There is a lovely little shed with windows all around where I house my potting soil, pots, wheelbarrow, and other garden tools. It has two ceiling fans and even in hottest summer--Louisiana is in the sub-tropics--the shed stays cool.
I have been working on this cottage garden for three years now. In the spring it will look like the lush garden you see depicted in the picture. Of course, I cannot go out there because hordes of mosquitoes are just waiting for me. There is something about my blood that excites their little buzzers and biters and pinchers.
But I can dream.

Absolutely Beautiful!
This is the second year I have purchased this calendar and I am hooked for life! There are other "garden" calendars, but none with quite the same style, richness and beauty of the photography. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys gorgeous garden and nature scenery.

perfect calendars
I needed some new calendars for my office and house....but I am picky....didn't want any of the free ones that come from the insurance agent, etc.....Looked in a few stores,,, to no avail... nothing really beautiful....went online and found exactly what I wanted on Amazon...They are both lovely and compliment my home just as I wanted....Received them quickly and efficiently.. Thanks so much, Cherrie Middleton

Beautiful Calendar
I have been getting this calendar for several years. The photos are beautiful. I only wish they reflected a garden in my backyard.
