The Majesty of Gardens

A different kind of exploration here compared with others is to take in the sights, smells and sounds of a garden in springtime and this, Bodnant Gardens in North Wales, U.K. is a good example of it with the blooms all out as you stroll around.

Identifying species of plant, insect and features fits around the broad heading of scouting even if it isn't stereotypical hiking armed with map and compass apart from being good for your mental well-being.

Nature even in a cultivated form is a marvel to enjoy and experience.
