Hi & Welcome Near,
Glad you found the forum. I can never get straight to the point unless I'm barefooted.
That sounds like an adorable idea, a garden railroad.
Re: Food crops. Don't some of those benefit from being companion planted with
flowers?
I love garlic and have some wild garlic comming from one of our members. I can't wait to
plant it. I use it in everything lol.
There are some wonderful pictures of different water features that members have in their gardens. Down in the "Wild Willy Section" is a really nice one that is right beside some
trees. And Afgrey has some pictures of hers posted down in garden chat. I forgot the name of the string but as you look through I'm sure you will find it.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the forum.
