Here we are at the Natural Gardener again. If you recall I did part one and then took a Fourth of July parade break. There are a lot of photos but few words. (Thank you, John) I hope you enjoy the stroll.
As a reminder, here is a map of the place – huge.

I hope you enjoyed the walk around. A lot to see and sorry for so many photos.
What a fun stroll! It was both an education and a source of delight. The tropical plant-eaters are a little scary but the saloon looks like it might have a mellow clientele. 😀

Don’t ever apologize for too many photos. A place like that demands you take more than a few. They appear to have something for everyone, including the saloon for the avian visitors! I love that sign on the chicken coop, cute one!

My favorite detail? The sign about chickens living in a world where they can cross the road without having their motives questioned. That’s flat funny.

The pictures are great! Thanks. I especially love the guitar garden. May I have permission to show the photo to my son who is a musician and is currently redoing his garden. Not what his wife has in mind, though.

I like the bird saloon. Are the goats used as organic lawnmowers? I know that’s a popular thing these days.

How funkified! The yellow submarine was my favorite shot (of course) but the guitar garden is a very close second, because it’s just so clever. But really, you can’t go wrong with anything you choose.
