Postcard Garden

The written side of Post Secret is an amazing project. People unburden themselves of secrets, and readers can sometimes silently nod, “me too.” But the flipside of the Post Secret is just as interesting—seeing what visual people paired with their secret.

A postcard garden starts on that side—show us a postcard from where you are; the message is almost optional. Or most seem to be a little snippet of life in that space. Each location is a flower in the garden. Weed-like messages are pruned and put on a compost heap.

I love this idea. I didn’t contribute the one from Maryland, though I smiled at all of the symbols on the postcard.
