I would have preferred it if they'd covered up the slope with wild type flowers instead!

To clarify, this garden is English themed not so much for the type of plants that are grown, but rather the overall design of the buildings and landscape, the aim is to blend in and compliment the old colonial English charm of this hill resort.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-76228174364615012532013-04-22T03:12:10.006+08:002013-04-22T03:12:10.006+08:00Hi, thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog....Hi, thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. You have an interesting blog, I need to come back at some point and read some of your past posts. Your post today about the English themed garden is quite interesting, for me who live in England :-) What we consider an English garden here today is not necessarily what the rest of the world think is an English garden, and quite rightly, it would not be possible either, because of the difference in climate.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-66567190250497148042013-04-21T20:11:36.108+08:002013-04-21T20:11:36.108+08:00Oh that is so sad.
