thanks for letting me spend some time with you in your splendid summer gardens, it´s -8 here in Mannheim Germany, with a blanket of snow covering my gardens at the moment *

we share the same naturalistic approach, working with, not against the way things grow, reclaiming, rescuing & recycling, though for me in my suburban gardens, it´s on a much smaller scale.

Oh! what would i give to have a tranquil lakeside glade *****
