| | | The Dappled Garden - Jo Coleman:
Apart from my regular church, St Johns in Harpenden, the most spiritual place Ive visited recently is "The Dappled Garden".  | | The Dappled Garden |
Its a private garden in Harpenden, affiliated to the Quiet Garden Trust. A peaceful oasis of calm, scented roses ramble through every tree and the sun-dappled lawn meanders between well-mulched borders bulging with shrubs, through a wild wood leading to a living willow house. It's the perfect hideaway to contemplate nature and meditate or pray.

| lynn Whitton, Hemel Hempstead | Monday, 29-Mar-2004 21:31:30 BST | | | The Dappled garden in Harpenden sounds like an oasis of tranquility, a place to stand in awe and wonder at the beauty of nature. I would love to take my elderly mother there, if I knew where it was. She cannot walk far anymore,but she still appreciates beauty. It could be our special place. |
