2008April Cherio Gardens, Haenertsburg

Last week Kate, Amy, Zoe and I enjoyed walking in Cherio Gardens which is a farm in a valley that is filled with wonderful variety of trees, azaleas, ferns and moss.

There are small dams on the stream and several wooden bridges to walk across to the other side of the valley.

The sandy, rock and brick paths wander under the trees. We found a secluded dell where there was a braai and table and benches. In another spot huge pines were lying on the ground in 8 meter square. This made a wonderful space in which Amy and Zoe could climb and scramble.

There were not many flowers but in Spring there is an abundance of different colour azaleas and hydrangas.

We so enjoyed walking that we were late getting to the Tea Room overlooking the biggest dam. So all the cream scones were finished.

Amy was disappointed but the day was saved with icecreams.
