Have you been to a lovely park or garden?

I have been to a few gardens in South India. One was in my childhood, in Ooty, It is situated in the Western Ghats of South India. This Ooty is supposed to be the Queen of Hills and the impressions of this place are firmly etched in memory. One reason is that I visited this place during my childhood days, with a few cousins of mine. So, you know how it is. The lovely, pleasant association of memories would always give an additional charm to the place. Now, this Ooty has a huge garden and it is named 'Botanical garden'. I remember having walked stretches and stretches[at least my little legs felt that way] and one important picture arising right in front of my eyes is a picture of landscaped India completely adorned with different flowers and demarcated colorfully according to the different states. I do not know if it is still there now. Secondly, I visited KOdaikanal and there is a garden 'Bryant's park' in this. This is a big garden and with the surrounding hills it is a visual treat. It has some ancient trees with imposing branches and massive trunks . Another one that sprang to mind was ‘Sivagangai Poonga” of Tanjore , a quaint little place in Tamil Nadu.This is a pl ace of historical significance, of wonderful regional cuisine and this particular garden was supposed to be the park of the King. This has been renovated and I visited this place on a rainy day and was bowled by its charm. It is not huge but charming nevertheless. Two trees need special mention . One is known as ‘Elephant leg’ and another is ‘’Raja raja chozhan”. The trunk of this tree looks exactly like an elephant’s leg.. Then there are the most beautiful gardens called ‘Brindavan’ in Mysore in India which sprawl over acres of land and. these gardens are laid out below the Krishnaraja Sagar dam built across the river Cauvery.

I'd never been to a lovely garden before but I want to see one of those lovely gardens out there, my greatest dream is to visit the Alnwick Gardens in Northumria, England, such a lovely and spectacular garden to see!

Possibly the most beautiful gardens I've ever beheld are the Tuileries in Paris, which are so elegant, it takes the breath away. This was the first garden to truly impress me. Although in London, my city, there are many stunning parks and gardens. Possibly the most paradisiac of them all is Kew Gardens, which is just wonderful to walk around, especially in the summer, especially when it's relatively quiet. It's such a haven. But then London is famous for its greenery, for rural areas in the midst of a bustling metropolis.

Hi Maxine, Like you I live in a coastal town and just yesterday took my young son to our local park, it has a wonderful pond which is now full of growing tadpoles and newts which are getting rarer but we spotted a few, some beautiful flowers and massive old trees with lots of greenery and then activities like mini golf, bowls, a skate park and swings for the children to play and there is even a little cafe that does children's meals which includes drink, cheddars, a sandwich and a yoghurt all for just £2.50 which I think is an excellent price if you spending the day there. huggles. Ellie :D

I have been to several package holidays and there is always a visit to the park thrown in. But even if I were to say so myself I like my garden which I have created that has several fruit trees, flowering bushes, a water fall and bird bath that attract severl species of birds. The well appointed paths add decor to this landscaped garden.

I've been to a park before but not a garden. It was when I was like three or four or maybe five. It was with my mom, my cousins, sister and then my then-stepfather. It was nice because I went on the playground and played with this other kid who was actually I a girl. But the funniest thing happened while I was there. I had an accident on myself because there was no bathroom...lol. So even though I had a good time I also had an embarrassing time all at the same time.

gardening is my hobby and i have a small garden in my home. I tend to visit gardens to see how the flowers been caring by gardeners. If you visit my latest discussion, you will see a picture added and there will see a small part of my garden. Have a great day.

When I was just eight years old, I remembered this beautiful garden and park called Singapore Japanese Garden where beautiful pagodas, lakes and flowers enchanting every visitors there. It is really breathtaking and scenic. Fresh air and really relaxing. I heard that parks in Canada are really beautiful, but I have not been there.

I think I read somewhere here that you went to Vancouver Island. If you did, then I think you've been to one of the biggest gardens I've been to, the Butchart Gardens. It's a big park with lots of different areas, and different flowers to appreciate. It's nice just to spend a day there, doing nothing.

Here we have a beautiful park called I-City park.What is so special about the park is it is very good if you visit it at night rather than day time. It is a park where all the main attractions are made of plastic and millions of bright LED lights. i-City's artificial forest of maple and pine trees really comes to life at night. It is like you are being surrounded by creatures that basically LED lights. Visit at night and remember to bring along your DSLR to capture mind-blowing light display here in this amazing park.

There this big park close to where I live. Well not so close but around 20minutes by bus. It's name is Yeouido Park and is one of my favorite places. It really is beautiful and I go there usually to ride bikes and read books. It's really lovely but on a Sunday, it gets really crowded which is kinda annoying =D

I do believe that I have gone to beautiful parks but I just could not see the beauty and serenity of them because of too many people spending their time there. Where I had been to are too small to accommodate all the people and those that are really tourist attractions are in far provinces which I wish to see to find myself daydreaming.

I have been in the park near my house. It's so quite, many birds is singing along the wind who blows slowly through my ears and hairs. Moreover, there's a small river nearby. I love watching crabs and shrimps below. But what makes me so peace is when I hear the sounds of water. What a peaceful environment.

I´ve been in a little village where the whole place was like a park. It was lovely. Every house had an overflowing garden, and at the this time of year everything was coming out and really green. There were lovely flowers everywhere and I found some of the strongest smelling mint I´ve ever smelt growing with some lettuces under a rosebush!

Hi, I love parks and gardens,and there has some next my house.. I like walking in these parks after meals,,and they make me very happy.

Hi, there are many beautiful parks near my house... and I like walking in the parks after meals...and I always think those person whose house is built next to a park or a garden are so lucky.. and parks and gardens are needed for a beautiful city..

I use to like to sit in my van a few years ago and look at all the lights and country side, while out catching up with friends, however i can not drive anymore, so i can not do that.When my children were alot younger i use to like to go to the parks where there were nice gardens as well as the ducks, just to really relax.But i prefer to go to the beach.

No i never been to a beautiful place as you have mentioned, yeah but would like to surely go there if i had a chance i live in India and we live in a small semi urban area most of the area is covered in forests, actually our place if you see its beautiful we have our own villas surrounded by lots of trees banana jack fruit and so on but such recent years most of the areas is covered with new houses, Apart from that i have been to park but an average not as beautiful, but would like to spend time in the park you mentioned sounds really beautiful.

I envy you living in a seaside town moreover It is a garden city.we live inland ,On the banks of Yangtze river.Even though we don't take pride in any beautiful park but our city is noted for mountain.the most famous mountain is Tian Zhu Mountain that is referred to as Southern Mountain.In addition,Huangshan Mountain ,the World Geological Park,is about 300 km from here.
