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 🙂

Good morning,
I am getting a pot the size of a large swimming pool and plant MEGA lilies on there. You can hop in the pot for a swim, rest on the leaves of the mega lily or cuddle up in the flower and sleep there at night, when it closes its flower and keeps you cosy, safe and warm.

I have been busting for this for ages and over the course of the day quite a few of my magnolia flowers opened on a little one I have in a pot! It was looking a bit iffy for this lovely throughout winter, but it survived and is doing awesomely now ☺
So I'm planting one in our garden too - a giant pink tree one
@Former-Member I love the addition of mega lilies to curl up into 😊

Hi. Spring is my favourite time of year and I love being outside where we have edible plants, flowers and ornamental shade trees growing. Sadly we recently received a 90 day no fault eviction notice and have to leave our home and garden of 8 years. I have managed NOT to allow this to completely derail me but must admit that I am spending less time in the garden enjoying the beauty of nature and more time in bed, depressed and angry. Here are a few pics from our garden.

@CheerBear There are Magnolias out here everywhere you go. Absolutely beautiful.
@Bat_Girl Sorry you had to leave your beautiful garden, my plants are special to me, so leaving them beside must be very hard.

EVA My kitten is enjoying the sunshine outside sitting on the lounde looking at all the beautiful plants trees flowers herbs & fruits. She tried to catch the big Butterfly & ended up tired & needing to get up on the sun lounge.

Hello Sis 
@Former-Member 🙂
Thank-you for tagging me into this beautiful garden 😄
I brought this little fella to live in this gorgeous garden 🙂 It's a magical Unicorn, it's magic will cause all of the animals in the garden to live peacefully together 🙂
I've loved Unicorns since I first saw a picture of one when I was a child, I remember a story about how they were the only ones Noah couldn't find to put on the Ark.
Love to you Sis
