Welcome to the Royal Botanical Gardens where footpaths are fringed with the young buds of early greenery and petals flaunt their playful colors of periwinkle, pinks, and cream. Despite spring's success, the gardeners keep their heads down, fingers busy. There is more work to be done.  Wheelbarrows trundle and bump between flowerbeds while the clip-clip of pruning shears mark the moments that pass until summer's blossoms arrive.
