Dan Leak

I am a gardener and garden designer based in London. I hope through my work to inspire a deeper communication with the land and with the beings, seen and unseen, that we share it with. I have a blog here. All my photos are freely available for downloading from my Flickr page, or here and I can be contacted on Facebook.

SYLVAN DROPS

As each forest decreases, as each piece of woodland is developed upon, our collective perceptual band-width narrows just a little bit more. As Sylvania recedes outside, that sylvan drop inside our hearts, that distilled essence of forest enchantment within us, somehow seems to evaporate away too.

THE BEAUTY OF THE LAND

Just as the divine longs to communicate through and as appearance, so land longs to communicate her sacredness through beauty. She seduces us into deeper communion, into a more attentive listening, with her sensuous invitations. Her beauty is so outrageous that it might even confuse our senses. Befuddled by her, one day I decided to buy a camera so I could listen more carefully.
