““A lush clematis vine, its sweet vanilla scent calming and comforting, climbs over tented bamboo poles to form her reading fort. White jasmine flowers along the fence, as bright as stars in a night sky. A flower bed brims with chocolate cosmos, lemon balm, and spearmint, lending the air the aroma of a candy shop, with leaves ready to be plucked for cooking and teas an imaginative play. Throughout the garden: lily of the valley, its fresh, hopeful scent inspiring a return to happiness, its blooms as light and pretty as fairy bells. Fuzzy lamb's ear plants burst with the purple flowers that hummingbirds love. Frothy drifts of yarrow fill the air with their healing fragrance, their flat sprays of blossoms the perfect resting spot for butterflies. On the yard's upper terrace, a white gravel path glows in the moonlight, cutting through feathery stalks of fennel and happy purple globes of blooming chives that are both edible and playful. A wooden swing hangs from the oak tree, rainbows of ribbons fluttering from its knots. California poppies glow golden even in the shadows, their citrus scent carrying a message of hope.””
