Floral napkin rings






Beautiful views into mountain neighborhood while walking up Phnom Kulen. If you love tropical mountain views, then walking all the way up after the ticket station of the national park Phnom Koulen will give you plenty of beautiful views. Specially during rainy season when all vegetation is lush green.
This picture is the same view as the next dry season mountain view made in January 2009 on my last park visit. Far from city, amidst wild nature, the only noise here was from a chain saw from this remote next jungle mountain.

poet_in_hermitage.jpgOn second thoughts - almost forgot we had the rest of the week to go! (by the way I am writing this from the Tatton tent which is at present being deluged by the tail end of a passing storm - however, we are close to a flower bed containing Noah's Ark so there is an escape route!).

The garden has been a great success with the public. It's also been enhanced this week by the presence of the Cheshire Poet Laureate, W. Terry Fox, reading landscape inspired poetry: his own, some from local school Manor Park Primary in Knutsford and even poems from would-be bards among Tatton staff!

toby_and_team.jpgMingling in and out of the crowds all week have been many gardening celebrities, including two 'bits of lads' I knew when they were students: namely Joe Swift and Toby Buckland. It was good to catch up on old times - though they reckon they are not so old.

Finally we met up with Gilly, chief blogger for this event!

So all it remains is to dismantle everything early next week, put everything in store and continue to plan for next year. See you then!
