Linda modified the original design slightly adding lighting, wood floors and solar panels to create her own private retreat located on a remote island in eastern Finland.

Salvaged bricks were used to create the simple stairs.

Amazingly, the only tool needed to put together the entire structure is a screwdriver - (sans the modifications, of course.)

What an idyllic place to retreat and recharge...soaking in the inspiring surroundings.  —I'm imagining what it must be like to spend the night there...lying in bed with a blanket of stars to send you dreaming.   Pure heaven!

Rosemary Verey, The Life & Lessons of a Legendary Gardener, by Barbara Paul Robinson, in the emporium by linenandlavender.blogspot.com, http://www.linenandlavender.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-english-garden.html
Rosemary Verey
The Life and Lessons of a Legendary Gardener
by Barbara Paul Robinson

BOOK REVIEW by Dan McCarthy - Garden Designer to Prince Charles, Elton John, billionaires and everyman. - Rosemary Verey, in her forties; with no training in gardening; with only four acres in Cotswold; with scant financial support, metamorphosed into the undisputed Queen of traditional English Gardening.  She authored 18 best-selling books; advised fashion luminary Oscar de la Renta; was the 'must have' garden designer to HRH Prince Charles, Sir Elton John, King Hussein, American millionaires, billionaires and the New York Botanical Garden.  Verey transformed a small grass plot into arguably the most photographed garden ever; attracting 30,000 visitors annually...[Robinson] illuminates the personal characteristics that catapulted Verey from a supportive, compliant, impecunious housewife and mother of four, into the acclaimed authority on traditional garden design, recipient of the Order of the British Empire.  The author explains the appeal of Verey's self-effacing, empowering mantra; "If I can do it, so can you.  Just get on with it!"  {cont}

"And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1820 The Sensitive Plant
