It isn't exactly secret, but apart from friendly neighbouring cats, bird, frogs and newts, I'm the only one who uses it.
Although in a Town, it isn't overlooked and I could sunbathe there naked.
It's like an old fashioned cottage garden with a small fish pond and waterfall, round stepping stones from the house which weave round under the old pine tree - each one commemorates the life & death of our puss cats, this leads to a pergola covered in Wisteria, honeysuckle and Albertine roses, then there is my "round house", a tiny octagonal summer house with just enough room for two cane chairs and coffee table, plus shelves with geraniums.
The garden has an old apple tree (James Grieve), raspberry canes, a red currant, black currant, strawberry pot, and a gooseberry. My wisteria which climbs to our bedroom balcony is just about to come into flower - it's called "Purple Patches". All the late Spring bulbs are in flower and so are the wall flowers; the runner beans are ready to go into the ground and they twine up a trellis with a tayberry and loganberry. The summer hanging baskets (lots of Busy Lizzies) will go up soon to replace the winter pansies.
It's very private, a mass of colour and such a lot of never-ending (pleasurable) work to keep it looking good.
oooh can it have an arched shaped door set in a mossy covered wall ? and a big rusty hoop handle....
O. k inside it would be mainly lush green planting , creating a sort of ' dell ' . the odd peony , roses and lots of trees . The grass would be springy due to moss on which I would lie and just daydream......
,it would just be me in there , i would make a tree house i would have all rabbits, chicken, sheep's, let the grass grow high for the animal run around free, i would just go there on my own and just chill out , oh that would be so nice just on my own with the sould of birds and all the animals running around, my time oh yes please that's a dream , wishfull thinking but nice,

I have a small "secret" garden.

Plant a garden that would ensure success!
3 row of peas Peace of mind, heart and soul
4 rows of squash: squash gossip, indifference, grumbling and selfishness
4 rows of lettuce: let us be faithful, kind, patient and love one another
A few turnips: turn up for meetings, service and to help one another
Thyme: time for each other, family and friends!
Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There will be much fruit in one's garden because one will reap what one sows.

I'd have a beautiful river with stepping stones, a swinging seat, tropical flowers...
Somewhere to write in peace.
Cover it with decking and concrete with a sodding great built in spit roast barbeque ....nah I'm kidding!
I would just sit there and enjoy the peace of being alone, while taking in the sounds and beauty of nature. ;-)

That's were I would share my secrets with someone special.
Unfeasible amounts of weed, and probably some onions.
