Character of a Garden

What do your senses tell you when standing in a garden? What sensory data are you confronted with that you're able to describe? The shapes found in gardens are organic. They are harmonious and consonant. The colors found in a palette of garden colors are are described as earthy. Gardens absorb light and use it to make food. Gardeners tend to them while it's light outside. Flower gardens create an atmosphere of leisure. They are usually grown in either a fenced in area or around the front yard of the house. Gardens are simple when compared to the complexity of NJ. "The Garden State sounds utopian. It's makes sense to want to encourage gardening. Gardens can influence behavior and are often used for therapy or self expression, which is desirable. But NJ has a well known night life that shouldn't be overlooked when redefining its identity.
