Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Thank you @Former-Member. Wow, 11 rescue animals. You have a pure heart of gold!! I had horse, dogs, cats, sheep echidnas, geese and the works on a property I use to live on 9 years ago. A small acreage in the country might be something you would enjoy. In the rural area I use to live in one of my dearest friends had 300 rescue cats! - together with breeding cows etc. She still does it. Maybe when you can - you could put some photos up of your beautiful rescue animal family. Keep dreaming as dreams come true 💕🌹xx

Oh, oh @Shaz51 - he is adorable. I use to have one of these cute little fellas as a pet on my old farm. He adopted me and use to trot down the long driveway with the dogs to greet me. No one could believe this until they witnessedit. Echidnas usually don't hang around or attach to humans. I called him kidney but wasn't game to pat him 😂
