Why not go into the forest for a time, literally? Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books.
- Carl Jung
Welcome to the Enclosed Garden of Susan Ernst. Literal as well as figurative, this blog explores the physical gardens which I cultivate, the spiritual garden within, and the intellectual garden of horticultural knowledge gathered through decades of study, observation and practice. Come and sit with me for a while. Let us together marvel at the delicate, intricate beauty of a flower.

Sunday Morning Quote for October 5, 2014
A tree gives glory to God by being a tree.
For in being what God means it to be, it is obeying Him.
It 'consents', so to speak, to His creative love.
It is expressing an idea which is in God
and which is not distinct from the essence of God,
and therefore a tree imitates God by being a tree.
- Thomas Merton
