English Garden.
 
  My love for an English garden,

It knows no bounds.

I will never have to ask for pardon,

As I stroll these lovely grounds.



Many are the shrubs, bushes and flowers,

They fill my heart with joy.

Here I have spent many happy hours,

For most of the flowers are shy and very coy.



Hollyhocks abound in every colour and hue,

Great delight I find in every nook and cranny.

A few of the flowers are for me new.

Most of the names I was taught by my dear Granny.



I have wandered around gardens of all kinds,

In most parts of this wonderful Earth.

There is something in a garden that my soul binds,

Nature shares with me every new birth.



But in an English garden such as Kew.

Gardeners put on a wonderful show.

That refreshes me through and through,

As I am sure it will you if you take the trouble to go.

Bernard Shaw

Good day Lady Jag! Wonderful poem and picture.

Are you rested from your little trip??

I have been talking to my brother in MO, we are digging up family history, such fun things to learn about our ancestors.
