Gateway Gardens cordially invites you on a walk of high expectations. Enjoy the fast paced luck, jolly walks and the positive spirit of spring, as the familiar space promises easy navigation. On a closer look, you might be rewarded with moments of surprise, where strange flowers and exotic landscapes bloom in a wonderful light.
Perhaps it is short-lived - a snap-shot even. Soon, the cake will rot and the boxes dumped away, even the islands will lose their magic. You will slowly wake up from that dreamy feeling too: this is just a storage room for temporary cravings.
Things come and go, and what is wrong with repetition? Let the birds sing regularly in rejoice for an endless everyday, as you take your dog on a daily walk. Maybe take a new route - there is no center in this messy garden; just do not get tricked by too ambitious paths. The more fluent you get, the more playful you could be.
Get creative with the trinkets of today! When time has gone generic and every place repeats itself, come again to our Gardens for an attentive stroll. Under the crisp, blue light, it is an anatomy of a new day.
