John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in the Orange Free State, (now South Africa), on the third of January eighteen ninety two. He died in Bournemouth, England on the second of September nineteen seventy three. He led an interesting life during interesting times, serving in WW1, and working for most of the rest of his life as an academic. His work has been the inspiration for so many writers and artists.
For this inchie I attempted to take an image of some of our Tolkien books, but an inchie image simply does not do them justice.
This garden includes a small nursery of plants from the garden, and only opens for four days, twice a year. I look forward to the spring opening, as there was evidence of many bulbs about the garden beds...
Bye now,
