Sunday Star Times / STUFFLynda Hallinan: From Isaac Newton to Oprah, some people are just slow learners
Excerpt from Lynda Hallinan's article, Sunday Star Times (19 November 2017, p. E19)
“... Sacred Blessing Sanctuary Garden on Waiheke Island is the most beautiful garden I have ever visited in New Zealand, and I have visited a lot of gardens. It has everything: sculpture, sentiment, a serene fernery, fat strawberries, heritage roses, lush lawns and gardeners who hand-clip the carpeting pratia with scissors.
