Solingen-Graefrath, Germaany - 20th May 2012
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
we visited an exhibtion for "garden and living" today in the neighbour city Solingen. It was taking place in the palace garden of Schloss Gruenewald.
You could see the most interesting things around gardening. Flowers of course, decorating items, barbeques, all sorts of fire places, exclusive furniture for balcony and patio, also handmade jewelry, intesting food, spices, cheese, handmade clothings ....
There was also a bird of prey demonstration.
This is a garden decoration made of wood and coloured glass.
Here you can see the castle, completely different from what I have known as a castle by now.
Those branches with leaves made of glass were at least 2,5 m tall.
We bought marine salt from Camargue with herbs and a piece of honey soap.
On our way back to the car we came across this rape field. There were wooden boxes - bee homes (that's where rapeseed honey is made ).
Bye
Virgo

After visiting Arnold's Greenhouse, we visited a curious place called Luther's Beef Jerky and Convenience Store. There were lots of unusual things there!

We took host mom's parents to meet Lula and work in the garden. It's looking so pretty and nice as all the weeds get gone!

Today we went to Deanna Rose Farmstead! There were so many fun things to see and do. The gardens are lovely and the petting zoo animals were very curious. We had fun playing and exploring!

After visiting Deanna Rose Park, we went to China Star for dinner. Some people think that dessert is the very best part!
