This garden sounds amazing!leftatthetrafficlights said:Definitely not an NSD for me! 😳 I've ordered lots of plants for my ponds and things for my meditation garden - worth losing a NSD for 😉
Will you be offering guided tours, or at least post a few pictures?
Here's the 'not quite finished' new wildlife pond though 😉
