Garden Visits


My Stratford is a place of beauty where local citizens take pride in their gardens. Today I went on the annual "Garden Tour" run by the local Horticultural Society.




It was indeed a treat to get a glimpse into the various havens that people have created: peaceful oases, interesting plants, rich combinations of colour and texture. I always have a sense of awe when experiencing the creativity of mankind, but it definitely adds to the pleasure to have it displayed under a sunlit blue canopy with a gentle breeze to occasionally cool the wanderer,





the trickle of fountains to soothe the soul, and the sweet scent of blossoms.









It was an opportunity to glimpse masterpieces formed in conjunction with the Creator himself.


Thank you, Stratford, for opening your private gardens for us to enjoy.
