This issue will explore our connections to the natural world through gardens. Topics can include the magic of the place, its profusion of colors, scents, sounds, healthy vegetables, enthusiastic gardeners, and similar topics. Settings may include organic farms, horticulture gardens, flower gardens or farms, cultivated landscapes, backyard gardens, centers for agronomy, the agrochemical industry, places of ecologically sustainable agriculture, Zen gardens, moon gardens, memorial public gardens, and other similar settings. From the geometric shapes of gardens in European castles, to the gardens of the Victorians on the wilder side, gardens could be seen as an expression of individuality and culture. Gardens can serve as settings we venture into to work out our imaginations. This issue will explore the beauty and truth related to gardens through essays, short stories, and poetry.<\/p>\n
