GARDENS
WRITTEN BY Bek Mitchell-Kidd GARDEN DESIGN By Amy Pallenberg

The Secret Garden

Amy Pallenberg was tasked with creating a secret garden for her client inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett ’ s classic children ’ s novel , “ The Secret Garden .”
The garden style is a combination of coastal and sustainable meadow with formal elements ; a balance of colonizing perennials that thrive seaside , wildlifefriendly plantings , and a nod to classic garden features including rose arches and pea-stone paths .
Amy describes the space as “ a secret garden for the soul , one that feels like a place to go , and a feeling of nowhere to go once you ’ ve arrived .”
