Garden Gossip

THAT'S MY WORLD

http://showyourworld.blogspot.com/

gleans information and photographs from every corner of the globe.

Here you see a typical Australian country house. It is not in the country now, as the town has grown up around it, but it still exudes a wonderful rural air. The same lady had lived there for fifty years and gardening is her passion.


GARDEN GOSSIP

I pass this garden in the car almost every day

And every time I wish that I could while the time away.

The lawn is quite immaculate with never a weed in sight;

The shrubs are varied in colour and graded as to height.

Seasonal flowers grow freely, whatever the time of year,

But they always blend with the bushes that 'chance' to be standing near.

I show you just a fraction; the rest is like a park;

In every little corner, the gardener's made her mark.

I took friend Joan to see her; she has green fingers too

And she wished to ask some questions. Well, gardeners often do.

I thought this scene of ladies sharing their gardening lore

Was absolutely charming, so, camera to the fore,

I snapped this little moment, this sweet idyllic scene,

Wishing very heartily that my poor thumbs were GREEN!

There's another corner of My World here:
