I have heard about this secret garden , but I never visited it until last week when my granddaughter was here. It was a perfect time for us to check it out and am I ever glad that we did! It is located inside a coffee shop and you would never know it was there if someone did not tell you {or if you read about it in the paper a few years ago like I did. lol.} |
 |
We walked inside the shop and asked to see the secret garden. The lady opened a door and led me down a long cement hallway and opened another door into this glorious beauty!! My mouth just dropped open!! It is just like stepping into another land!! From a stark cement hallway to this!! SO GORGEOUS!! I always heard you could see the huge wisteria roots in here that grow outside on the building, but I didn't realize that they had really made it into a beautiful garden. |
 |
Look at the size of this Wisteria trunk and branches. AMAZING! |
 |
I truly was in awe and took several pictures, but there was so much light coming in that they aren't the greatest. I still wanted to share them with you anyway though. |
 |
Love this piece that hangs on the brick wall. |
 |
This is my granddaughter. I wanted you to see her in the picture for scale. This gal is around 5 foot 8 inches tall so you get the idea just how high the walls of this garden are. |
 |
Okay, do you remember my Wisteria posts a few years back that showed the outside of these windows with the Wisteria hanging down? If you didn't see them you can click here , here or even here to see the actual Wisteria when it is in bloom on the outside of the building. |

I would still be sitting here in this garden if I actually could get away with it. To have a place like this to get away from the world and all it's noise would be so wonderful, wouldn't it? I think so! |
 |
A pretty little water feature makes a perfect addition to the beautiful garden. |
 |
Look at these Wisteria roots?? Wowza! Those are some BIG roots. |
 |
Tons of light shines in from above and I am certainly not a professional photographer, but you get the idea. |
 |
Now seriously, looking at the front of this coffee house would you have ever dreamed that there was a secret garden inside?? I wouldn't have!! Even looking at the side of the building where the Wisteria grows, I would have never dreamed of a secret space for a perfect retreat. However, now I will think of it every time I pass by this place and truthfully will probably stop more often and have a latte...just to visit the secret garden. Happy Sunday! |
