HCP 'Zen' Garden

18 years ago

This picture of the HCP Zen Garden isn't exactly in season, but it will help us count down the days to the end of the year, remind us that (at least in Victoria) spring will soon follow, and illustrate the skill of the garden designers. I've printed the whole thing out & have stuck it on our fridge door...

Click to see (and, if you like it, print for display on your fridge door).
