In this text Gatta talks about Victorian Era women and an almost fad of "secret gardens." Gatta tells how the women were confined to the house and the garden was their sacred place because it was their only outlet to the wilderness. I have to arguee that these women never got to experience nature. Small well kept gardens may look nice and produce some tastey food, but they are not wilderness. These women rarley, if ever, got to see what wild flowers looked like. They never got to get lost in the woods. They never got caught hiking in a rain storm on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. The only word I can think to use to describe the lives these women must have lead is stale. No real open space, no real fresh air, no real wilderness, no thank you!
