more gardens...

There are multiple gardens within the garden; there is a Japanese Garden, a Sunken Garden, a Bog Garden, an Italian Garden and a Rose Garden. Ms Katie, her wheels and I visited them all! Up hills and down hills, across bridges and rough stones, through trees, around corners and under trellises and always there was another bloom we wished we could take home.

There was not one 'do not touch' sign! Some felt like velvet, some paper, some silky, some sticky, some waxy and some coarse and rough.

My only sigh were the roses - it is too early for them to be in bloom. There are hundreds of bushes, planted in a circular pattern, buds on every one and all labeled with very enticing names; white moonlight, peachmist, lavendar ladies and fuschia slippers. Sigh - I love roses!

I wonder what the Garden of Eden was like.
