The Secret Garden Wall Calendar 2016 Read Free Books and Download eBooks
With every glance, enter a private sanctuary insulated from the outside world: lush with greenery and blooming flowers, filled with soothing sounds of birdsong, overlaid with shifting patterns of sun and shade. Each month, The Secret Garden Calendar showcases a verdant garden retreat beautifully photographed in full color. Fragile blossoms stand out against a display thick with grapevines. A fragrant rose arbor invites meditation and a glass of wine at day’s end. And a carpet of blazing fall leaves announces a grand finale to a year of riotous color. Gardening quotations and appreciations accompany the photographs.

I got the 2015 Secret Garden calendar last year, and I was so pleased with it I bought the 2016 version without a second thought. And I wasn't disappointing, the photos in 2016 version are just as pleasing. The colors are bright, and the composition is tranquil and soothing. If you love gardens, this is the perfect calendar to have.
This calendar has the most obnoxious and annoying purple prose.Example: January: dried hydrangea that retains "their color and fulsome shape like a well-preserved ingenue hitting middle age".How sexist!Instead of identifying all the plants in the picture (which they do not), which is what gardeners want, we have unnecessary garbage written like: "the memory of the last fragrant blooms bidding adieu to summer is a refuge in the darker days to come." Oh, how cheerful to read every day in September. That writer must suffer from depression.Gardeners want to know 1) the location of the photo and 2) all the plants identified, not read nonsense.Workman Press needs to save themselves wasted money and fire these writers that are a liability.I have bought this calendar for years but will no longer. I will recycle the photos of years past, stuck on free calendars that I receive, so I don't have to read for 30 days what I don't want to, like the quote for September 2016: "There were crimson roses on the bench; like splashes of blood."I don't want to read that every day in September and have that image in my brain. I get enough of that in the news.
This is such a beautiful wall calendar. If you love gardens, their design, vibrant greens and lovely flowers of all colors, this calendar is a delight to look at and I look forward to each new month to savor my next Secret Garden.I bought this calendar for myself for a few years in a row and have even used some of the photos as inspiration for color pallets when decorating and painting the inside of my house. Last year, I bought this calendar for my mother, who was born and raised in England, and is quite discerning when it comes to gardens. She feel in love with the beautiful photos in this calendar too. Simply lovely.
I'm a gardening addict so this 2016 calendar is right up my street! It has glorious garden views, just as the 2015 one does too! I can definitely recommend that it'll bring you daily joy while keeping you up to date!
I've purchased "The Secret Garden Wall Calendar" for 5 years now. I loved it at work as a little restful pause and kept it right by my desk. I'm retired now, and still enjoy a little restful pause. I would so love to visit these gardens. My mother has enjoyed visits to many of these Gardens in England. Maybe I'll get to visit, too. Happy 2016 everyone!
Always spectacular, this calendar never fails expectations!
This calendar has beautiful pictures and is perfect for your windowless office.
I got this calendar for my mother and she loved it! The pictures are really crisp and bright and of course, beautiful. Perfect size for a wall calendar and easy for her to read. Arrived in 2 days.
