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 🙂

I had to look up what 'valotta' was @Catcakes they are very pretty. how lovely that you have something precious from your Nana.
I have some orange Clivias flowering out back at the moment, the heat is searing the petals so they aren't lasting long. Had to leave my white November Lillies and the Arum Lillies behing in the second last move. 
I pick the Magnolia flowers as soon as they bloom so I have something pretty inside.
I simply must harvest the Basil this week sometime. Freshly made Basil pesto is so yummy.
Those shrubs should bring the birds @Shaz51 I see them around a lot near where I am. @MoonGal and @Former-Member those are glorious vertical planters! and a pretty new flower plant fo ryou too @CheerBear
Gardening has long been a passion of mine, recently I have had to downgrade to a minimum of a few pots of herbs and edibles. I still love being able to grow things I can use in cooking.
