trying to decide how to change up the garden this year…
so far nothing much is happening, as we haven’t brought out the last bits and pieces of furniture…
washed down a few of the chairs and am trying one of them between the gate and garage door so I can have a good view of the pond and the bird feeders… not sure if this will work as the chair is quite wide;-)…
once the furniture and umbrellas are in place, there will need to be decisions made about where plants and pots will go…
on a recent walk to the Park and around the gardens I was rather shocked to see how many trees had been removed throughout the forest between the walking bridge and the gardens as well as in the gardens…
there were still trees that had fallen or been blown over…
and it appeared that the pergola in the Leo Mol pond area had been completely rebuilt or else it had been sandblasted…
had another solo visit to The Leaf on Friday as I’d read that the flowering trees in the current display area were nearly finished blooming due to the heat…
I was surprised at how many people were there as I expected everyone to be outside enjoying the 17° C gorgeous weather…
as I entered the Tropical Biome I had to stop and wait a minute for the fog to clear from my glasses, lol…
happy to see the tiny flowers on two of the three cacao trees…
everything looked lush amidst the cooling mist that seems to be keeping the flora happy… quite surprised at how much the plants have grown… just last week it was easy to see all the way to the waterfall and now it is blocked again…
fun to watch one of the zoo keepers feeding the koi as I don’t often get to see that;-)…
the Mediterranean Biome had many flowers and the Babs Asper Display area held lots of plants, flowers, small trees, topiaries, and a truck filled with tulips…
the Butterfly Garden was busy with butterflies flitting about happily as they enjoyed the sunlight… the misting machines were also busy adding to the humidity and it felt very warm, lol…
