Title: Inspiration for a garden
Post by: ACE on March 13, 2011, 07:26:55
This was going to be a hard one given the emotions that are likely to arise. But it should be a good one.

Oh, we do like a challenge, but this took a couple of months to come up with. Key lines of the lyrics will be arranged around the garden. What do you think.

I like the shape, but if was me I'd have(but what do i know) put the pond in front of the seat so you could sit and watch the fish/pondlife.

It's a show garden for 100 years of macmillan nurses to go on display at Gardeners World live and the pond will be for people to toss in a few coins. But it would have been nice to sit on the seat and dip your toes on a hot day. Perhaps with those little fishes for a pedicure that is all the rage now ;D

That's beautiful!

It interprets the song title perfectly - a place for quiet remembering and with a dream-like quality.

Just lovely!
