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 🙂

Hi @Jessie2
I feel your pain, it's been 31+ over the last week then it's storms and pouring rain. It means I'm stuck inside.
My partner keeps commenting on how Brown I am.

Hi all gardeners 👋🏻
Just dropping this off as @CheerBear helped me get back into my garden. Today I took these photos. The bougainvillea is one I want to cut out because there are too many thorns and it’s really dense. I’m going to try to grow one in a pot though because it’s spectacular at this time of year.
*Edited to delete the sentence about my dogs balls that really didn’t read well 😂🤦♀️
happy gardening now that it is cooler @Bentpole-01 , @Sim1 , @Anxietyfree , @Anxietyfree , @CheerBear @Shaz51 and all that pass through. 💜🌵🌲🌳🌴☘️🌿🌱 🍁🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻

Hi @Teej
Thanks for the tag and pics. They look amazing, my two year old was trying to smell them through the phone!😅
It's been rainy a lot around here lately so I'm stuck in the house(with the kids)
A friend of ours brought us a bunch of indoor plants, hanging ones too. Nice bright colours.
I have laid a row of white pebbles along my edging.

Just wanted to share a little of my part of the world lately. This thing called rain which has been scarce happened. I also had my first autumn leaves from the trees I planted last year. They are very little trees still but gorgeous colours.
