orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	I'm not a gardener at all. Nor do I have much desire to become one. But I enjoy visiting large botanical gardens when we travel. Here are beautiful images of a garden we will be visiting this weekend. http://www.japanesegarden.com/photography/gallery I've been to this garden in the summer. This time, the cherry blossoms will be out which will be different in a more ethereal way. In Vancouver, there is lovely Japanese garden also but it's much smaller than the one featured in link. One of the things I used to do before digital cameras, was to take photos of beautiful natural scenery. I did have a few photos enlarged and framed for myself. Recently discovered more enlargements that I haven't gotten around to framing nor hanging up. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Edelweiss3 Registered: 11/19/08 Posts: 1758 Loc: American living in Germany	I enjoyed the link, Orchid. I just LOVE Japanese gardens. The only thing I don't understand are the sand gardens raked with patterns. I always want to walk across them...lol. _________________________ As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. Goethe

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	These photos make me want to get off my butt and get outside. Thanks for sharing. Here's a link to our local Sherwood Gardens. It's a fabulous tulip garden: http://www.guilfordnews.com/sherwood/photos.php Once they are finished blossom, they have a bulb dig. I've never done it, but one of these years I'd love to. One year a friend and I went and made notes to where all our favorite tulips were planted so we could go back and dig them up. Then we missed the Dig Day.

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	I agree Chatty. It's amazing how soothing flowers can be for an aching soul. Flowers remind me not only of the beauty of God's care for us, but also His humour...who else could splash every colour of the rainbow across a field in the middle of nowhere. How many places have I traveled through where there's nothing but drab highway and all of sudden we come across a field of wild flowers as far as the eye can see, every colour. It's always such a sweet surprise, and always such a sweet delight to see tiny crocuses pushing up against the snow...flowers teach me a lot about perseverance and hope. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I was in NYC last week and spent hours in Central Park, one of my favorite places in the world. NYC knows how to do gardens. They're gorgeous this time of year. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Anyone getting in to gardening this time of year? I spent a few hours weeding and planting our pots yesterday. It felt so good. The weather was gorgeous and the sun felt glorious on my skin. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	We've been very busy in our garden...we've planted a lot, and just have marigolds left to plant in the big front garden. I'm hoping to post pix here next week! _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. (Maya Angelou)

MustangGal Unregistered	Dotsie, should I ever be in your neck of the woods, I sure would like to stroll through Sherwood! Reminds me of Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands! Still have a lot of yard work. Not spending as much money on plants this year, tho. Mostly keeping up with the lawn (i.e., weed and pesticide control). I'd like to plant a few trees, yet not in the mood for digging!
