We would think of the joy such a walled garden could bring as we tended our roses, dreamed romantic dreams, and enjoyed the sweet smells surrounding us. Well why not have our own "Secret Garden"? Maybe not walled away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life, but somewhere to relax and shed the worries and tensions that each of us deals with each and every day. A place to simply chill out. By COLETTE BAUER Many of us, as we were growing The Bunco Luncheon, a semi-annual event taking place in February and May of each year, is one of the club's more popular fundraisers.

I was lucky enough to have a mother-in-law who some six years ago planted a copse of redwood trees. Over the years this area has served various generations as an Indian village, a fort (I even found the remnants of a tattered white flag on a branch, which I am sure was used in surren- der), a picnic spot, a hide-away for the hammock and of course a place to cool down on a very hot day. Some twenty years ago the tallest of the trees was hit by light- ning, causing the top most branch to go through the living room win- dow. The window of course was repaired and what remained of the tree cut down. That was a sad day for all. But lo and behold out of the stump grew four new redwood trees which now tower above fifty feet. Over the years I have lusted after the redwood grove dreaming of one day turning the tangled interior of the copse into a quiet retreat. Then one day my friend, Cathy, stopped by and I was telling her of my desire to create a meditation garden in that very spot. Being the enthusi- astic person she is, she soon had my reluctant husband out there with chain saw, rake and pruning shears. After three days of pulling way- ward ivy and weeds, trimming the lower interior branches of the trees, raking and hauling away loads of brush and leaves, we finally had a place to relax. We have added a couple of benches, a hosta (given to us by a friend), and a bubbling fountain (given to us by a friend) will be in operation in the next few weeks. It is a joy to be able to escape when- ever we feel life closing in on us, to get new perspective when we need it, and yes, just chill out. You, too, can have your own "Secret Garden" All it takes is a corner or a secluded place in your yard. Trees help but are not neces- sary, however, some plant life is really helpful - in a pinch, even a potted plant will do. One friend has her "Secret Garden" in her side yard, another has two beautiful arbors as the entrance to hers. You see a Secret Garden is more a state of mind than a specific place. So find a spot and enjoy the release of tension, the expansion of your mind, and the quietness around you.
