I hope a conservatory counts as a kind of garden:

I didn't know they existed - an actual four leaf clover.

Ironically, I don't have any pictures for this topic. I have lots of wildflower pictures but my garden is looking pretty sorry this year (the lettuces have gone to seed and the squashes are running riot.)

I love foxgloves

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Why the heck do you need to close an image tag here? That took me forever to figure out what went wrong.

I didn't have a garden because I was going to move in the spring. *sigh*

This is just before a cold snap killed the tomato plants. I picked all the green tomatoes and made pickles.

This is a bit of my favorite garden in the world (at least of the world I've seen so far):

The karesansui (dry garden) of Ryōan-ji. Ryōan-ji though is a lot more than just the dry garden:

There is also a beautiful lake on the temple grounds:
