My grandmother had a picking garden. It wasn’t as large as this, but it was prolific, and there was nothing more fun than being given permission to out and cut a bouquet for the house.
I do not have such a luscious garden as this but I carry a vivid memory of carrying home a huge armful of fresh basil which I purchased from the farmer’s market. Such is abundance.
Your words, along with the surprising image (I never knew about such gardens!) remind me that almost everywhere is a picking garden, if we are alert and take heartfuls as we go.
Beautiful flower garden and picture.

Seedbud: Great shot…nice depth of field. I like the shadow effect in the trees also.

Beautiful presentation of image and words. I can almost smell the flowers and hear the faint buzzing of happy bees.

The red of the barn contrasts nicely with the flowers.
