I know I do not post as often as some folks, but I do read all the threads and enjpy very much seeing other people's gardens.
This is what you would see if you visited and walked the normal route round the garden.

Eric your garden is always a delight!!  Everything seems to be about three weeks ahead of mine though. I guess our Scottish weather holds things back a bit.  Could you tell me what the shrub(?) is in photograph 08043 please as I don't think I know it?

First of all, that's not a garden, that's a beautiful park! Your variety is amazing, and I loved every single plant in that slideshow.

I wish we could smell as well as view the garden Palustris as I imagine it's heavenly. Have you ever done a count of the number of different species you have?
Thanks for posting. BTW must be quite a chore cutting your lawn

Thanks for the tour. I loved the pergola walkway on pg 4 and the walkways on pg4 and was that a picts of pond flowers-so pretty. I love greenhouses, would you have more picts of the greenhouse. This all must keep you very busy. You done very well-great job.

Thanks for giving me the name of your plant Eric. I'm going to the Clyde Valley nurseries tomorrow and will see if they have any smilacina for sale.

Thanks for ID'ing your location. It seems we have someone from just about every where. It makes it so interesting, and we can learn so much about the different countries. Kind of like being in a History or Geography class.
