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 🙂

You've almost got me getting my camera out @CheerBear 🤔😊😯. I haven't held it for just over 6 yrs now. It was a bit self care thing I did in my old life but haven't coped using it again yet. And the self care thing was taking photos of mostly flowers in my garden. My Eremophilias are out and my grevillea too. I just had a beautiful peace rose too.
Im loving the community garden.....and yours too. 🌷🌹🌸🌼🌻🌺

Thanks @CheerBear,
its funny how sometimes small things (or lovely people 😊) can inspire us to take a look and breathe. I think it's the nature of the beast with mi as well. We are looking for those small steps forward so often it's the little things that make a difference too.
I hope you pick up your camera again but more importantly I hope your next house has an awesome flower garden 💜🤗
I haven't slept yet so I'm thinking i might resemble the flower Titan Arum in personality (and possibly aroma if I don't shower) 😜 Yep you can google that one 😳😆

@CheerBear@Teej@Mazarita@Former-Member@frog I often walk through the garden here and today I found a pic that fits perfectly. I cheated it's off the net, but I love to walk barefoot on the grass, connect with nature when I can't connect with anyone or anything else.

Hi @CheerBear, thank you for the jonquils, a real treat, as I rarely in my whole life have received flowers from anyone. You thinking of me in relation to those lovely flowers is a delight. I love all your garden pictures. 
Hi @Maggie, what a beautiful piece of garden. Like a miniature forest. So green and inviting and peaceful. How wonderful that you walk barefoot in the grass. I love to walk barefoot too, with the shallow waves lapping my feet on the beach.
Hi @Shaz51, my scottish sister. You are lucky to have such a beautiful tree blooming all year round.
I like how the garden selections here also seem to express each of who we are in different ways.
Hi @Teej, @Former-Member and everyone.
