Blogs full of Spring
March 16, 2010
I have just discovered a new pastime while I wait in desperation for Spring to let me outdoors to work. It is called Botanical, a blog directory of garden blog writers, and it well may have saved my sanity.
Imagine – a site entirely devoted to gardeners and garden blogs from around the world! A networking site where you can read garden blogs, and then pick your favorite posts and blogs to give the authors a warm fuzzy! And not only that, but you can find gardeners with similar interests to follow, or do a map search to locate bloggers in a specific area or country.
In the past week I visited gardens from all around the United States; then I took a trip to Ireland, Australia, England, and Canada! It was a busy week with a tight travel itinerary, but you know I’ve always wanted to travel and just can’t seem to get off the farm – problem solved. While Spring might be in denial here on the back 40, other gardeners are reveling in snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils and happy to share the dirt! I have come across some GREAT posts, funny jokes, and fantastic photography, and I’d like to share a few of my favorites. They really are worth taking a peak at, especially if, like me, you are desperate for Spring!

Hi, Cheryl. I agree that Blotanical is a saviour for gardeners! What wonderful blogs and people in this community. I’ve been a member only since January, but feel such a sense of belonging and friendship. I’d never have believed that to be true via the computer!

Just popping over from Blotanical to say hello – as usual I’m alittle late in welcoming the newcomers but I get there eventually. Hope you enjoy your time with Blotanical – its a great place indeed to find new garden blogs – hence the reason I’m here! If you fancy another little garden blog trip pop across the pond again – only this time when you get to England move further north into Scotland and you’ll find me. I wish you lots of success with your blog Cheryl – Happy Gardening.
