Description about a Garden
Time Is Frozen From the little swing I see everything, from the big black beetle to nice friendly people. As the happy sisters sit in their places with ivy locking them into a maze. The cool, soft breeze skips around them, flowers bloom as they stand and plants of all sizes and colours fill up the empty spaces. Interesting and fascinating creatures belong to this community of self-entangled living …

People come; people go while the houses in the forest stay. Fruits ripen by the day, as time continues to fly by. Birds chirp away and butterflies enter the garden, their colours becoming one with the nurturing soil. The sun sets and rises and the dark green trees stand tall and straight, like little tin soldiers. Time is frozen for the little houses, while I watch everything else that goes on.

Memories come and leave us, for centuries have passed and are still to come. Laughter and tears are the heartbeat of this natural song, and giggles and frowns the melody. The dances that accompany this song are viewed among all, life and death among them. Cultures and religions are stored as a reminder of the past, while families continue to grow.

Winters come; summers go, while I watch the sun and moon dance around. Stars the background dancers that tell a story of their own. Inside this special garden, peace is gifted as evil bangs on its doors. Though inside this safe secure haven, no harm can be done, as this ancient get-a-way has no means of being destructed.

Some try to capture these joyful moments, though they can never take the peace away. A simple click of a camera cannot preserve these times of their own, during which nature is a prized possession. For keeping this garden is to be. Although none can ever own this fascinating place of it’s own, some tend to decide on this gardens fate, which can never truly be told.

During these tiring moments the garden forces itself along its way, through hardship and friendship.

    Apartment unit four’s new garden in the backyard continues to have a sidewalk bisect the lawn horizontally and a fence that defines the end of its property. These elements serve as the datum for the designed landscape. In addition, the rectangular pool and the portion of the sidewalk that branches out to lead up to the porch further divide the site vertically. The pool lies embedded into the ground between the sidewalk and meshed fencing. Its reflective water provides a calming effect, particularly when it shimmers with hues of red, orange, and yellow during…

    In chapter one of “The Rambunctious Garden”, Emma Marris presents us with a different way of viewing nature. Instead of seeing nature as a place “untouched by humanity’s great grubby hands," Marris wants us to value nature in places such as the “highway median” or the “old field overgrown with weeds”. She argues that the goal of returning nature to its prehuman state is incredibly expensive and nearly impossible. Marris explained that, “Many conservationists are opening up their definitions of nature and embracing a whole suite of possible goals beyond the familiar pristine wilderness goal.” One specific example she offers to support her argument involves an experiment being conducted in Hawaii.…

    An integral part of developing a sense of belonging is to establish a connection with a person, community or place. The poem ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ explores Feliks’s dignity and stoicism in his physical journey of cultural assimilation. Feliks establishes a connection of belonging with the love and devotion he gives to his garden. The simile ‘like an only child’ and the hyperbole ‘sweeps its path/ten times around the world’ expresses how Feliks is reliving his journey around the world and confirming his place into a new country as the garden encompasses him like a barrier. Skrzynecki details natural interactions to highlight the gardens protective role. The use of allusion ‘bordered by golden cypress’ indicates a cultural sense of belonging. Golden cypress a European plant encompasses Feliks’s cultural identity into his garden, in a way he is reviving his culture into his garden. In contrast the peaceful imagery and the soft, lilting rhythm of ‘watching stars and streetlights come on’ suggests that Feliks garden is his rejuvenating sanctuary. His devotion and love into it shows how Feliks has created his own place of belonging.…

    Here in this small community, seemingly blocked off from the rest of the world, lies a small slate colored house with a large white tarp sheltering the driveway. Adjacent to it, is a fairly large camping trailer that, if it's lucky, gets used for its intended purpose. The maroon deck in the foreground brings life and color to the dull, 1- story house. The front yard, in which I spent my childhood, seems everlastingly covered with the blades of the towering trees that I have grown so accustomed to. The aroma of the rainfall the night prior still lingers in the air, even as the sun begins to rise over the dewy, frost ridden lawn. Here, in the confines of my own habitat, listening to the songs of the morning birds and the blue jays, is where I connected with my surroundings. Here, is where I call home..…

    Shared experience can bring about an understanding of the past which can help an individual find a sense of belonging.

    Skrzynecki’s “Feliks Skrzynecki” effectively conveys the notion that an individual’s sense of ‘place’ and belonging is tied to their relationship with the physical environment. In the poem Feliks is portrayed as lacking a close connection to the Australian culture, it is instead his garden where he finds his sense of place, he “Loved his garden like an only child... swept its paths ten times around the world”. Skrzynecki has used a hyperbole to demonstrate how much time Feliks spends in his garden as well as how his garden shares his identity as he travels across the world. By characterising Feliks’ relationship with his garden as a family relationship through the simile ‘like an only child’ the poet effectively highlights how belonging to physical place can take on equal importance as familial relationships in finding our sense of place and belonging.…

    Upon arriving at the state park, the beautiful trees of autumn welcome you along with the variety of faces unfamiliar to you, walking around care-free. The trunks of the trees were all sorts of sizes with multitude colors; the trees were particularly brown, like milk chocolate. While some trees were bare, others possessed a thick collection of leaves, fanning out like the mane of a lion. The collection of people walking among the fallen autumn leaves creates an everlasting sound—swish, swish, swish. The faint sound of the lake brushing against the sand murmurs in the distance, inviting you to…

    It was an ordinary Friday afternoon, just like other ordinary afternoons. The sun was shining brightly, provoking a yearning within me to enjoy the outdoors. I positioned myself on one of the two wicker lounge chairs. They sat diagonally on the front porch, allowing the perfect angle for me to bask in the daylight. After fidgeting to get comfortable, I cradled my belly while tucking into myself and let the day seize me. Birds chirped high in the trees while a gentle wind rustled the leaves. The sun’s rays embraced me like a warm blanket, leading me into the solitude of my own daydreams.…

I saw the sun’s rays in my eye, lighting my way step by step. It shined so bright, it burned my eye. I saw the beautiful green trees up across the sky, with birds flying over them and other just waiting to sing…
