Product Review

Strongly influenced by Shinto and Buddhism, the Japanese style of landscaping is particularly conducive to restoring an inner calm. Requiring an artful blend of imagination, skill and patience, the Japanese garden is an extension of the self. By adapting the harmonies of natural design to our own landscape, we heighten our understanding of the world around us and within us.
The Gardens of the Spirit 2012 Wall Calendar features twelve exquisite images from garden photographer Charles Mann. Paired with contemplative text by Maggie Oster, this collection of images brings the experience of Japanese gardening to all who long to create a peaceful oasis in the midst of a challenging world.

The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks. In addition to printing our products on recycled paper, Amber Lotus Publishing continues to plant trees and offset our carbon footprint with NativeEnergy.

I didnt quite know what to expect w/o being able to see the back of the calendar for the remainder of the months, but was I glad I ordered this one! The pictures by renopwned photographer Charles Mann are just beautiful of serene and simple Japanese gardens and the narrative by Maggie Oster, herself a photographer, is so inspiring. If I would have received this as a gift I would have been overwhelmed. AS it was a gift to myself I am equally delighted. ALl the international holidays from Christian to Pagan to Buddhist to you-name-it are listed as well as the moon phases and eclipses. Not too much but interesting to note. EST is the given time for the SOlstices etc. You wont be disappointed - just beautiful!

I was delighted to find the photography was of framing quality. Was glad to see the phases of the moon included so clearly and the many holidays marked.
Do wish there had been a way to put the explanation on the upper page with the photo and give room to make the calendar spaces a little bigger. Many of us use our calendars to record appointments, etc.
I am pleased with this purchase as it is for a gift. Joan R. Lindsey
