this morning, I found myself idly thinking of what I would do to alter or
add to our garden, if I could. I really love it as it is so it's no big
deal but I think the one thing I'd *really* like is a stream meandering
through it. We have water just under the surface all around us, so it's
quite irritating not to have any ON the surface! ;-)
What would everyone else add, alter, take away, assuming money was no
object?


I'd restyle into a japanese garden with a proper teahouse and pagoda. And
possible an orrery folly.

I had to look up Orrery. ;-) Do you have any photographs of what you're
thinking of and didn't someone do something similar at Chelsea a few years
ago?
This is the Japanese garden at Huntington Gardens, CA. We thought it was
wonderful: http://tinyurl.com/2xplff


Ooh, that brought back memories! I've been there [mumble] years ago and I
agree it was wonderful.


We loved those 'cloud pruned' trees. (I don't know if that's the proper
term) But apparently they're enormously expensive.
