- a place to pause…

So… “a green room is a room in a theatre or studio in which performers can relax when they are not performing”

“One of the oldest stories is that London's Blackfriars Theatre (1599) included a room behind the scenes, where the actors waited to go on stage, which happened to be painted green,
and was called "the green room". ...

“Green rooms could thus be considered the transition rooms on the way to the stage…”

or in our case the garden (not that we are anticipating a performance of sorts from the pausers…!)
but a place to pause in between the acts of life, work and errands. Leading into a garden - like this one
