$50 Amazon Gift Certificate | Famous Gardens
Yes, it’s true; I won Stuart’s garden photo competition. Yay, lucky me! Thankfully he gave a few clues or else I never would have guessed that the photo was of Mahallat Spring Garden in Iran. I have never been there but would love to go one day.
The competition got me thinking about all the well known gardens I have visited. I do love gardening but also visiting beautiful gardens. Here is a list of the famous gardens and parks which I have seen first hand (and can remember).
- Kings Park and Botanic Gardens (I’m from Perth so what do you expect)
- Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne (I used to live in Melbourne)
- Fitzroy Gardens - Melbourne
- The Domain - Sydney (I briefly lived in Sydney)
- Hyde Park - Sydney
- Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens
- Singapore Botanic Gardens
- Central Park - New York City
- Hyde Park - London (Yep, I lived there too. In London that is, not Hyde Park)
- Regent’s Park - London (The prettiest garden in London in my opinion)
- Villa Borghese - Rome (Hope to live in Rome one day)
- Villa Gamberaia - Florence (Applied for a job there, didn’t get it but beautiful garden)
- Park Guell - Barcelona (Unusual)
- Muntanya de Montjuic - Barcelona (The most beautiful area in Barcelona)
I lived in Paris for a couple of years so I discovered many beautiful gardens and parks in Paris while there.
- Jardin du Luxembourg - Paris (The most beautiful garden in Paris)
- Park Monceau - Paris (A close second behind the Jardin du Luxembourg)
- Palais Royal - Paris
- Jardin des Plantes - Paris
- Jardin des Tuileries - Paris
- Jardin du Place des Vosges - Paris
- Various gardens in Levallois - Just outside of Paris
- The garden at the Rodin Museum - Paris
- Gardens at the Chateau de Versailles (Not to be missed)
- Monet’s Garden - Giverny (Also, not to be missed)
I’m sure there are plenty more which have slipped my mind. Now, what can I get with my $50 gift certificate? I’m thinking to get another organic gardening book and maybe one on eco friendly cleaning and right now I’m thinking of getting one on beautiful gardens around the world. I’m sure I can find something appropriate at Amazon.
