Title: May's Garden walk.
Post by: Palustris on May 08, 2008, 05:57:21 PM

The idea is that this is a walk round the garden, with a few of the flowers you may stop to look at more closely. You might even find labels to say what they are!

Your link doesn't work.

It comes up with a 'Page not found' message at the top of the Photobucket web page.

Please can you check it.

A lovely garden André and blooming nicely.

I am also intrigued by your secret garden - I love areas like that.

Sadly though, we don't have one.  :(

If I show you my secret garden it isn't secret anymore ;D
In fact it is a garden in the garden, hidden behind a perennial border and hedges functioning as walls.  It also has a green roof.

That's fantastic, really beautiful.  :o

Don't worry - your secret is safe with me (I won't tell a soul.  ;) )

That must make you one of the Lords of the Rings then (where are the other Ring-bearers - are they hiding in your secret garden?
