Great link, Child!

What a fascinating way to recreate Middle-earth. I guess gardening was not one of the arts which Tolkien encouraged in his letter about other hands taking up his Legendarium through "paint, music and drama" but it certainly is a form of "fanfiction" which is consistent with Tolkien's vision.

Interesting too the comment that the garden is immediately recognised by many.
