Imagine a public library, with its own garden. Imagine this garden, with benches, where you can sit and read. There should even be a raised picnic pavilion. How about some roses? Or hydrangeas?
On the edge of downtown Binghamton, New York, in walking distance from where I work, there is such a garden.
Imagine these trees helping to shade you on a warm summer day.
Or these.

Our library won a neighborhood beauty award. But, I think some many changed hands
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate for you to have such a peaceful and beautiful garden so close to where you work! A great place to spend your lunch break!
ReplyDeleteA library garden sounds perfect. It just needs some hammocks.
ReplyDeleteThat's nice. I love reading books under the shade of trees. Feels peaceful.
ReplyDeleteOooh. I think the closest we have to something like that is a library in a park. What a great place to sit and read.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and picturesque. I could see me sitting there with the shade of the trees reading a bbk!
ReplyDeleteThis garden does sound like the perfect reading spot. A lake view would be ideal (minus the mosquitoes).
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to soak in the world and beauty of books and nature.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the seven months of winter, is it used as a short cut to get somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteBut winter makes us get out and appreciate the summer that much more.
I think I get more reading done in winter because the summer beauty and activity is so much more interesting.
Beautiful pictures. What a wonderful library garden!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a library. It's great when there's a nice outdoor area to enjoy nature and books.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, Alana. To me, that would be an ideal combination...a book to read in the company of nature...ah bliss! I could take my camera along too and grab some great shots of the flowers. Loving your insta flower posts, btw!
