"What I hope to do in this book is take you through my seven stages of creative unfolding within the context of your garden: Imagining, Envisioning, Planning, Planting, Tending, Enjoying and Completing. You will learn all you need to know design the garden of your dreams - even if you have no idea what that garden is right now - though that is just the tip of the iceberg. A magnificent, thriving garden is the by-product of a magnificent thriving gardener, and really, this is all about you. The tulips and roses and evergreens will be beautiful, I promise, but they will pale in comparison to the inner glow you will radiate once your creative fires have been lit..."
