Gardens

Spring is finally arriving in England and I have had the fortune of visiting some gardens in the last few days.

On Thursday, as part of a vocational visit, I went to an organisation called Thrive (bottom picture) which specialises in using gardening as therapy. I'd never heard of a 'Gardening Therapist' until Thursday, but it's clear that the work is very popular and very successful.

Then on our weekend off in London, I went with Geoff to visit the Kew Botanical gardens. It was a fantastic day out (and we only managed to see about 1/5 of the place!) There were even two areas specifically deoted to South African plants - we felt like we were home for a moment.

We are now in Whitney and are looking forward to a productive week.
