The garden is a space in which experiments and critical thought are born and carried out. It is a space in which growth is mediated within the flora of its inhabitants, but also in the contemplative mental space of its guardian. Work and toil produce challenge and transformation within the confines of the garden. The garden itself must have perimeters for it to function as a space for devotion-if its edges bled into a forest; it would no longer have the withstanding position to incur its sacred status. We can make considerations of the garden’s attributes as holy, possessing the anima of transcending ruminations. Within the garden, not wholly unsympathetic with the conscription of the maze we, like Jorge Luis Borges, understand its position as an allusion to the mind itself. The frame and edges of a garden are holding vessels for thoughts and complications to be unwound.
