The Smallest Garden

It's not often a building merits two entries here, and Bracken House had it's Astronomical Clock featured a while back. But, their excellent window boxes caught my eye, and I noticed that they had won twenty awards with them. The boxes are changed four times a year, courtesy of the building owners, a Japanese Bank called Mizuho. Thanks guys, you really help make London a brighter place.

Climate Change

You can enjoy this garden for what it is, another of London's secret green spaces, or you can read and discover how much more of a story a few square metres can reveal.

Cleary Gardens is on a WWII bomb site, and the exposed levels follow London's history from Roman times to the present. With a wide variety of trees, plans and shrubs it's a haven for nature, you can listen to the sounds here , and examine more of London's nature here (try clicking the "browse" feature).

Much as I believe current climate change is being influenced by man's activity, we shouldn't forget that climate change is a natural, cyclical thing. Vines used to grow here in the middle ages, the rebuilding of the garden was sponsored by Loire Valley Wines. Mmmmmmm a nice a Vouvray will do nicely, thank you, or maybe St Nicolas de Borgueil.

See where on the London Daily Photo Map.
