Who would plant along the way a thousand trees that thrive from birth?
We spent time without a break to delve this avenue;
How is it stricken trees bounce back — are they even of this earth?
Some tell of magic spell to wake and make revival true.
My usual personal challenge of using the words in the order given, and rhyming with as few added as possible. I had an even shorter version, but the sense required a great leap of intuition to extract.
Here follows another little avenue which is part of one of the gardens we judged this weekend for Garden of the Year. More pictures of those will follow in due course.
