The Garden

The Gardens at the Orchard Cafe Garden in Central Otago are a wonderful mix of tall trees, clipped hedges and cottage garden flowers. There are also two large aviaries but I failed to get a good bird photo as usual. This was an opening through to another "Garden Window"

In another area was a real maze with very high hedges. I don't like these and get angry when I can't find my way out so I didn't go in!

The temperatures were in the 27deg C and so the shade was most welcome

WOW this is so beautiful :) I love the beautiful shade trees you have there. Looks like it's out of "The Secret Garden" :) Stunning place to be!

@kbalychev Come to think of it, Kimberly, it was like the Secret Garden - you never knew what was round the corner!

[Melody Tanner]

Lovely! It really does look like The Secret Garden. I don't like those hedge mazes either-- too frustrating!

[Pat Knowles]

Love this calm oasis & surprisingly the b/w makes it more enticing...must do more b/w myself!! Love your cafe lifestyle too, I wish i could be whisked back!!!

[Bill D'Arcy]

works really well in mono, I do like the tree you can see through the opening in the hedge, gives a great point of interest to focus on

[Tony]

Lovely capture and the B&W adds an air of elegance.
