While I have no idea how my own garden is going back home, I've found plenty of time on my holiday to enjoy some other gardens!
Here in London, our special friend Greg organised to take me to the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew. We have been there before of course, but he thought I would like to see their latest exhibition - Incr-Edibles! They had some fabulous displays like this garden below fashioned just for the exhibition:
They also had a garden party set up, with all the herbs growing in the bowls and pots:
We walked for about an hour to see an exhibition titled 'Bouncy Carrot Patch' which sounded like fun. We were disappointed when we finally found it - a patch of mulch cordoned off with some construction webbing with an apology stapled to it!
The gardens are spectacular. They are trying to get people not just interested in growing vegetables for themselves, but educating them about where vegetables come from. I heard more than one adult asking what some of the plants were. Plants they should have been able to recognise from the food they put on their tables! I was surprised.
I have some more photos to post soon... Not just a crack plant, a crack TREE!
