If loving nature were an art, maybe humanity would be more conscientious towards nature. Trying to bring humanity together around a common understanding, Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi draws attention to the parallels between plants and humans. He says, “Loving nature is the basis of loving humanity.” We have carefully envisaged every dream garden in this collection and based it on the care that should be given tomthe growth, development, and survival of things we love.

Every garden has a muse, and there are hidden words in the garden I dreamt. You’re welcomed to the gardens I painted with my imagination.
