After acquiring a little plot of land surrounded by dry-stone walls, the author reminisces the experiences and sensations of the past nine months spent to transform the barren green space into an English garden paradise. Her memories and immediate observations bubble up in her mind over the three hours she spends sitting in her garden one summer morning while waiting for her new friends, the former owners of the plot, to turn up for their very first visit. The garden layout is meant to be a surprise for them because they last saw their land the year earlier, before they sold it to the author. The encounter of the former owners with the new proprietor, the writer, leads the latter to finally discover the reasons behind the sale. The motives are a real eye opener and truly astounding and they point to one and only one entity, the Spirit of the Place, otherwise known as Genius Loci, who plotted lovingly behind the scenes to lure its guests all together in order to ensure its potential to flourish and to be cherished.
