Community Garden

Yesterday was the grand opening of our local Community Garden down in the village. It was such a beautiful day, to stroll through the shady forest behind the market, with lots of local feral faeries flittering around.

At the entrance we passed by a bunch of kids playing in a lovely hobbit cubby house.

  4. I love the herb spiral. There is a community garden at Katommba that has a little herb spiral which is raised and tiered. I would love to do something like that in my garden one day (when I get my own place!).

  6. I love the tree mural, so colourful. I think that I would enjoy the pottery the most. Creating objects with our hands is so rewarding :-)

  7. Majik,

    I just wanted to let you know that my Xanga site has been deleted (by myself) and that my new blog home will be on Blogger itself.

    Peace
