Title: Anne and Barry Wright's garden
Post by: shelagh on April 08, 2011, 10:44:39 AM: Last Sunday we were lucky enough to have a look round Anne and Barry's garden easy to find with the forum members map. It was looking terrific and I took some pictures. I don't have names for all the plants but it will give you a general impression of one members garden.
