Little bit of nostalgia.
I thought I will do this blog of early entries to GOY website which caught my eye at one time or other. There are many.
These are pictures from 2007 to 2010 (approximately) and I do not put names as most of these members are not around any more but their awesome and diverse gardens are still with us. I only mentioned names of people who still occasionally post here.
Images of 50 incredible gardens posted here in the past.

I could not pick my favourite from this selection. I would be happy to plug myself in any of these with cup of coffee.
Some most-likely look very different now, a decade later.

My goodness, there's some 'sock-pulling-up' to be done round here! What an inspiring selection, Klahanie, and every one with its own atmosphere. Thank you for taking the time and the trouble to post.

A really lovely idea Klahanie … thank you for taking the trouble. I recognise number two as Spritzhenry’s (which I was lucky to visit many years ago). What an impressive and inspiring group of very special gardens.
Added to favourites 🙂. x

I loved our old garden too, Klahanie, but no, I haven’t seen it since we moved.

These are inspirational gardens and have been a real joy to look at.
Thank you for putting this together for us. It was very enjoyable.

Wow! What lovely gardens you have shown us!
Such talented people! I think no. 42 was Olive Oil's garden. She unfortunately is not on here now.
I couldn't pick out one either as they are all absolutely amazing!
Thank you for sharing and a Happy Christmas to you!

Thank you Khalanie for doing the research. Im going to add this to Favourites and then I can look at it at my leisure during the cold winter days. There are plenty of brilliant ideas in these beutiful gardens.

wonderful blog Klahanie. I have also been to Spritzhenry's garden and it is truly wonderful.
so much inspiration to take on board. It must have been hours of research.

This has been wonderful to see,Klahanie,and I recognise a few too,but can't put a name to the talented Gardeners who took these Photo's of their beautiful Gardens. If I had half of their talent and imagination,I'd be very happy :o)

So many lovely gardens, they are wonderful and thanks for taking the time to find them all for us to see.
It's what you do with what you've got that's good though.
