Historical Gardens

Clicking the links below will take you to the Historical Gardens group on flickr, where photos of historical gardens and parks are gathered. All images you may find there are courtesy of the people who have joined and participate in that Historical Gardens group. Please be aware that normal copyright restrictions are in place, unless specifically stated otherwise. These restrictions may vary from picture to picture.
Browse through the photo pool, zoom in on the map, or go directly to a specific garden and kick back your chair. You can add photographs of your own to the pool, but you will need to get yourselves a flickr account if you want to do that. Please do. You are invited to share.
