$Figuur1sneeuw-mini.jpg\"$ How it started,

February 1999 still brought us real winter days, as was the case
this year, in 2004. Because of the almost Toscany skies we were able
to make many beautiful photos. The poetic landscapes gave me the inspiration to bundle all the photos related to my garden. That was
quite a job, considering we\'re talking about a 35-year timespan here.
My mother, who was living in at the time, was my biggest fan.
She also loved nature very much and her amazement was much more than just admiration. She had kept the receptiveness of a child.
That made her so special, beautiful and good.
I think back with gratitude about those beautiful times and all the
good advice she gave me.

The beginning is the hardest part...

The time when our children were playing in the garden has long
passed. Slowly it shaped into an ornamental garden, still keeping the
old structures. There\'s trees, a shed, an old swing (in the meantime covered in plants), reminding us of the happy moments and years we spent there together. More time for gardening resulted in the fact that we developed new waterparties and borders and especially got more acquainted with taking care of roses. We started visiting open gardens,
at home and abroad. Besides the wealth of knowledge we gathered
and the beauty that touched us, we also always enjoyed the charm
and friend-liness our fellow-gardeners welcomed us with.

Through our webpage, we\'d love to let you explore our garden,
very modestly, because that\'s what it is.

Welcome.

One winterevening

Grim outside, so it's even cozier inside. Winter 1999. Time to pause and reflect,
to be creative in the house. Together we watched the many photos of years gone
by. That's when I got the idea to make our own gardenbook.
We have been the proud owners of our garden for 35 years now. I wanted to
document the fact that many things had changed in there over the years.
That's how I started digging in our photoalbums and picking my family's and my
own brain. This led to a discussion once in a while. Usually old photos provided
the answer. Our garden grew according to our needs and our family situation.
But it has always been a source of pleasure. It was and still is a familygarden as
well as a living space, with trees and plants, borders and roses. But there's also
a herb- and little vegetable garden and some water-parties. Something for
everybody... Photos were collected, dates checked. Captions were written and everything was gathered. I was urged to send a story to a gardeningmagazine,
which published part of it. Later on, the magazine's webpage proved to be an
outlet for more pictures and stories.
Now we have reached the point where we can make our own website.
Something I will do with great pleasure and enthusiasm. Enjoy reading and
watching it.

This is what I wrote on my first webpage in the Spring of 2003.
In the meantime I am using new software, hoping that my webpage will
become even better and more accessible. - January 2004 - Ria
