This was our 2nd time visiting this garden. The first time was 37 years ago!
At that time the garden was in its infancy - everything was small, newly planted....
and we were very young!

The garden is now an explosion of vegetation with huge trees and flowering plants. Here are just a few of the pictures I took. They will definitely inspire some new projects for the winter ahead, both the shapes and the colour combinations.
