Attempting to Recreate Middle Earth Gardens

Did I tell you that I am attempting to recreate some of the realms of Middle Earth in some of my gardens? Well yes I am! Its a long time dream and many years now in the drawing, designing and planting stages....I have some pretty lofty goals and hope to see them materialize soon. I am attempting to recreate Lothlorien, Rivendell, Mirkwood (clean side) a taste of the Shire and a tribute to Ilthilien. I am fanatical about details in these gardens hence the main delay in making them happen. It takes alot of money too that isn't always available but I do what I can. I have alot of them started already like the Mirkwood garden. Its well underway. The main thing there is for the trees to hurry up and get big for me! They are still a little young yet but growing every year! Some like my Lothlorien seems so elusive sometimes. I plant trees and they die. I need to create to large hills and can't seem to get the dirt here. But of all of them this is the most detailed and the one most desired to be created. I have it all done on my computer program so maybe soon it will be a reality too. Soon I will share the details with you all.
