Corner View - Gardens
I haven't taken part in Corner View for a while, but for me, gardens, this weeks theme is a great one. Volunteering with the National Trust for Scotland to undertake conservation work on properties across Scotland. Some are rugged outdoor areas but others are beautiful gardens....whilst my favourite part of National Trust work is the destruction, we do occasionally do something more constructive. You also get to visit some of the most beautifully kept large gardens....
But across Scotland there are also lots of beautiful small gardens, private gardens, that occasionally open as part of Scotland's Small Gardens scheme, where money is being raised for charity. I visited many in Ceres, Fife, with my parents last summer - a great source of inspiration.
The garden above is my favourite of course.....you can see my mum in her own small garden!
Go check out all the other gardens around the world at Corner View.....
