A few photos taken on 11-May-2006 to get started, followed by a selection of photos taken at events since. All are shown in month order (regardless of year) and tell a story in pictures of a typical year in the garden.
These will be progressively replaced &/or supplemented by more photos, including more activities in the garden, historic views, views at different seasons or whatever seems best. They could in future be presented in the form of a "slideshow" (format similar to ACW Photo Tour may be appropriate?).
