Sitting with quiet, folded hands,
content and peaceful
And smiling a mysterious promise,
My winter garden waits.
- Caroline Giltinan
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 January 18, 2015
Oh Winter! Ruler of the inverted year -
I crown thee king of intimate delights,
fireside enjoyments,
home-born happiness,
And all the comforts that the lowly roof
of undisturbed retirement,
and the hours of long
uninterrupted evening know...
- William Cowper, from The Task

Sunday Morning Quote for January 11, 2015
Night
Stars over snow,
And in the west a planet
Swinging below a star -
Look for a lovely thing and you will find it,
It is not far -
It never will be far.
- Sara Teasdale

Sunday Morning Quote for January 4, 2015
I do not wonder at the snowflake, a shell, a summer landscape, or the glory of the stars;
but at the necessity of beauty under which the universe lies.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
