  nelly you rock girl - only thing is I would substitute the astro turf for a rock garden - yes rocks and nothing but - in fact we are working on it - got the rocks in the back yard and last xmas even got a goose made of wire cable and rocks - should look reall good sitting in the middle of the rock garden - differnet kinds of rocks with sheeting underneath to prevent the weeds from coming through - wouldn't want them making it look like something grows there or anything.

  Actually I have a friend who has cultivated a wild forest. It is spectaular. She has water and trees - a small patio, wild bunnies live there and this is in the middle of a city

  I know I need water and trees - a lot of green - Japanese gardens are so relaxing so my ideal would be something similar - just add the gardener too since I have the money (or at least would have in this fantasy)

  Rejoice in the healing and not in the pain.
  Rejoice in the challenge overcome and not in the past hurts.
  Rejoice in the present - full of love and joy.
  Rejoice in the future for it is filled with new horizons yet to be explored. - Lee Marsh 2002

  As a child, I used to imagine the Garden of Eden as being something like a huge orchard. Rows up on rows of trees all neatly planted and groomed, each one bearing a different kind of fruit. Adam might have felt a bit lazy one day and rather than strolling to the opposite end of the garden to get that pineapple he wanted for dessert, would settle for the more proximal but rather ordinary Granny Smith apple.

  I love Japanese gardens now. My ideal garden would have to include a large koi pond with a carefully arranged area of smooth stones with a serenity fountain. Lots of very simple lines, not too many ornate florae - just a few at various focal points - and keep the colours to a minimum in each focal point. I also like the idea of a moon garden, with only white flowers in it, to reflect the moonlight at night.

  Love, Scully

  If money were no object?
  I would just buy an island and let it do what ever it wanted.
