Spiritual Gardens
|
 Spiritual Gardens
examines gardens that were created specifically for spiritual
reasons; gardens where the people who use the garden and the
people who work in the garden gain far more than just the
experience of creating a beautiful or bountiful place. They are
taken to a space where they undergo a metamorphosis that leaves
them spiritually changed just by spending time in the garden.
The series looks at how the originators and gardeners went about
creating these special places. The thought processes behind the
gardens; the choice of plants and the affect of the layout.
Viewers will see how the design transforms not just the gardener
but also the people who use the gardens as places of rest,
relaxation and mental and spiritual growth.
We look at what makes the gardens work, what makes the garden
outlast its creators and what the gardeners derived from the
simple act of creating the gardens. ost of all, we try to find
out why the gardens were created, what the creators hoped to get
from it and the qualities of human nature that find expression
and fulfillment in the place and activity of gardening. |
