With no plot or setting details available, this playlist takes its cue only from the title: a garden as a place of refuge, wonder, growth, and shelter. Instrumental pieces move between quiet contemplation and open, enchanted spaces; the vocal songs add themes of belonging, endurance, and finding a home without assuming specific characters or events.
