Unfortunately we only got to four of the gardens on show at the 2015 Bundanoon Garden Ramble, but what we did see was lovely. Hopefully these photos will do the gardens justice.

A couple of weeks ago we went for a very pleasant visit to the wonderful Chinese Garden of Friendship in Sydney’s Darling Harbour area. Having been there many times before, there were no real surprises, but it is looking particularly beautiful at the moment.

While travelling in the UK earlier this year, I took the opportunity to take some photos of some inspirational garden ideas. I’m not going to be able to replicate the look of Royal castle grounds in my own confined patch of land, but hopefully I can capture at least a little of the feel of some of these beautiful gardens.
