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 🙂

So nice to swing by the garden and to hear of your cyclamen (I remember hearing of it) @Teej!
Our garden is not so lovely right now. I need to mow and whipper snip and maybe/probably/definitely weed but I can't at the moment.
I do have some, what I think is portaluca, in a hanging basket that's doing well and is flowering in lots of colours. So I'll drop off a Google version while I'm here
Very pretty 😊
Hi to @Shaz51 and all 👋 Hope the day is going well for you

Hello @CheerBear@Shaz51@Bunniekins@Teej@Appleblossom@MoonGal@Former-Member@oceangirl@Former-Member and everyone who pops in here. Was feeling a bit down this morning and so spent some time in my back garden for a pick-me-up. I trimmed an archway in my giant bauhinia tree out back and loved the effect - so lush and tranquil. It's overcast here but below pic will give an idea how it looks. Am pleased

@Former-Member Hi -Enigma- sorry to hear you were feeling not so good this morning.... I agree a bit of gardening can really perk up the spirits and make one feel so much happier 😄 I cannot wait to see the pic when it comes up I have never heard of a bauhinia tree!

@Former-Member It has come up and looks magical ... I love that kind of garden look you would expect fairies and gnome to be hiding in the branches.

Thank you @Bunniekins - glad you liked it. It is magical - especially after the heavens have opened up making everything lush and misty 💦💦🌈
