St Andrews Botanic Gardens
… the first botanic gardens dates back to 1889
and was linked to teaching and research at the university …
… the gardens moved to their current site in 1960
and still has links with the university …
but sadly is under threat of closure
… on a beautiful spring day I went to a walk-talk around the gardens
linked to The Steep Trail exhibition at the local museum …
… the exhibition was inspired by the work of John Muir …
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
John Muir
… we were encouraged to enjoy and think about our surroundings
which I did by taking rather abstract photos …
