March is big month to attend Flower Shows around the United States. These shows are a wonderful way to banish the grey or cold days before you can get in your own garden to start working or to get ideas for your own gardens. Even if you have no outdoor space to garden, it is a great place to see the newest flowers or get some plant related ideas that you can use indoors. Garden shows are fun for all ages, kids too. Many shows have special exhibits just for the children. (PS The shopping is fun, too.)
March is pea-planting time.

Hillside by the Stream, Ugurtasi Istavri Village Turkey by steelskyblue
TheGardenLady received this question from Janan.
I am planning a spring trip to Turkey to see wildflowers – especially bulbs. Do you know of any good books or other resources that are in English?
How I envy your traveling to Turkey to see the flowers. Turkey is one of the most interesting countries to visit. Though I never spent time visiting gardens in Turkey, I found the most amazing variety of wild flowers- especially on the Eastern part of the country and around the area called Cappadocia. “Turkey is home to 9000 species of flowers, out of which 3,000 are native to its varied geographical landscape.” (see here)
Shiraz Naranjestan Garden (Bagh-e Naranjestan) by R. J. Witonsky
There are so many gardens that this GardenLady loves that I could continue writing about gardens to visit that I have visited or I would love to visit for many posts. Recently, TheGardenLady has written about gardens including Butchart Gardens, the Garden of Cosmic Speculation, Stourhead, Saihojo and Keukenhof. Let me know if readers of TheGardenLady blog want me to continue mentioning extraordinary gardens. And by all means, TheGardenLady and the readers of this blog would love to hear about gardens you know and love.
One garden that TheGardenLady and her children visited is the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Seal Hrobor, Maine. Because it is still used as a private home, the gardens are only open a few days a year. So if you know that you wilI be visiting Seal Harbor in the summer when the gardens are open, by all means try to get reservations. (see here)  There are a few other wonderful Rockefeller gardens that you can visit when you are in this area.

This post is about two other wonderful gardens from two countries that love their gardens that TheGardenLady has visited and one garden I dream of visiting.
One can spend a lifetime visiting all the fabulous gardens of England. England has got to be a or the gardeners’ paradise. I will mention other English gardens in other posts.
The first garden is really a landscape garden in England. This is a park that has all the dreamy vistas that anyone could wish for and you can also get delicious scones with clotted cream in the park. This garden is Stourhead, a landscape garden that is said to have transformed forever the way gardens were made.
Since this is a landscape garden try to visit when the rhododendrons are in bloom to see flowers. It is such a romantic location, one of the movie versions of Pride and Prejudice was filmed here.

Jumping Bridge by Paulus Maximus!
In this GardenLady’s mind there is nothing more wonderful than a garden. Whether the plants used in a garden are common varieties or exotic varieties, whether the garden is large or small like a terrarium, it does not matter. Each garden is created by an artist and every garden is artistic. Gardens can be spring, summer, fall or even winter gardens- gardens change seasonally and yearly- they never remain the same or static. The gardener is a magician in what he or she accomplishes.
The dream I have is to visit every major garden in the world as well as many minor ones. To that end, TheGardenLady has visited many gardens around the world, but she has not visited all the gardens- I wish, I wish….
Which garden is the most magical? The one I am seeing at that moment.
