never wanted to come home. You do it brilliantly - applause, applause! |

| Botanical gardens tend to make me feel like I'm not a gardener too! Mind you I've only been gardening for under 10 years. It's fun though, seeing what can be done on a large scale and then maybe incorporating an idea or two. You covered quite a distance on one trip, didn't you? |

| The climate helps us a lot. Reading the US forums shows what many of you have to contend with. |

Many, but not all. Here in the NW corner of the U.S., the climate is similiar to a lot of the UK. That's why I pop in here on this Forum from time to time.
A picture of some conifers in Westonbirt Arboretum, Glouceshire I saw in a tree book inspired my garden's design. That and a trip to North Devon near Bideford where I toured a garden called Marwood. Absolutely lovely!
Oh, and two days at Kew Gardens while staying in Soho.
I hope to return someday. |
