Gardens at Waters East said...

I just stumbled upon your Blog. I am always looking for gardens form other places. Figure I can learn something new from your Blog. I will be following your Blog and hope to learn more of your area of the planet. Here on the shores of Lake Michigan in USA it is still Winter. Had a really big storm this weekend, but even with the snow it is beautiful. I try to have Lake Michigan as the backdrop for lots of the photos I post from the garden. You might enjoy some past postings. See you soon. Jack
