This thread has been inspired by Boogaloo who responded to a healing request sent in by Susz. We are dedicating beautiful gardens everywhere to all the service men/officers who are suffering from PTSD. It was inspired by a UTUBE video about a garden in Oslo called Vigeland's garden. You can read the whole thread including Boogaloo's explanation of this and her idea for this thread at:

You can view Vigeland's garden on UTUBE at:

We are urging other people to dedicate a special place in their garden and post a pic of it - or if you haven't got a garden but know of a beautiful spot in someone else's garden - take a photo and post it here. These pictures will be the focus for sending healing to the many many men returning damaged from war experiences.

So here is the first pics from my own garden that is a purely indigenous one. It was planted very lovingly 7 years ago from scratch when we built our house, using primarily indigenous trees and shrubs that would attract, birds and butterflies into the garden. We use no insecticides or poisons and we love every tree that we have planted (over 40) In our arid Botswana climate this garden is indeed an oasis on a boiling summer day and the canopy we envisaged when we designed it is at last becoming a reality. In fact it will probably look like a jungle soon. Much of it is watered with recycled water from an underground tank as water here is extremely precious. We ave frost in the winter - believe it or not and we usually lose all the grass but most of the trees are chosen for frost hardiness.

Please strengthen this thread and it's healing vibration with your own particular version of Tim's Garden.

Boogaloo has gone out and planted one from scratch last week and we await Spring and her pics!!!

LOts of love

Thank you Boogaloo and Wendy. This is a wonderful idea.
All the property we live on is that special place, so I'm going to be submitting a lot of photos here.
Say "uncle" when it's too much.
These first ones are for Tim. I send with these pictures the love and appreciation I have for these grounds. Tim, we love you and appreciate you. We hope from this gesture you feel how much.

Wow, Wendy, beautiful.
Say, it would be so much better for everyone to see these without having to open files. Like I did where they're just there. And anyone can do it thru photobucket.com (for free). Thanks for that tip Norman.
The reason I say that is, we could see them at a glance.
Besides, if you don't have a groupee account like a lot of visitors don't, you can't open the files at all.
Just a thought.
Christina

Christina, I wondered how you did it - I shall investigate that. Is it an absolutely secure download?

In the meantime I deleted my third post as I had duplicated the pic. Here's the third on again. If I do the photbucket route I shall delete all three and put them in another post.

Your garden is a real felight. How wonderful to stroll around that beauty.

love
Wendy

Oh what a wonderful bee having his supper. It's a beautiful pic. There seems to be no way to put two photo's in the same post except using Photobucket like Christina said. Thats why I posted 3 times!! Haven't investigated photobucket yet.

I bet there are some wonderful pics waiting to come into this thread. Lets have them folks, to spread this special loving vibration around. Well said Jana and thanks for posting this.

Susz, if you wait a few seconds when you open the post Christina's pics will eventually appear. They just don't come up instantly or at least not for me.

Get out there and take pics people or maybe there's still too much snow around - we might have to wait for spring to appear in the Northern Hemisphere!!!!!! There is life waiting to break loose. Jana post some more please.

Love
Wendy

I am drenched in feelings of gratitude. So much beauty.
Enjoy a walk in my world.
Christina

I am in awe of the gardens, beauty and intent. You can just feel the love by all these pictures of Tim's Gardens. Keep up the great work everyone.
