When we were in London I was very impressed with St. James’s Park and thought how wonderful, in the middle of the city. I also enjoyed Queen Mary's Garden, which is about an acre, all roses. The fragrance was wonderful from the roses in Queen Mary's Garden in Regent Park. It is a very popular park in London, with this wonderful Garden of Roses. I also would like to mention that Powerscourt Gardens in Ireland are beautiful. It is very large. Italian Gardens built in the 1840's with Wicklow granite and peebles from Coated brug. Triton Lake, named after fountain in Rome occupies a place here. The Pepperpot tower was built in 1911. Also contained in the Gardens is a Japanese Garden, quite nice, laid out on reclaimed bogland by the 8th Viscount and Viscountess powerscourt in 1908. It also contains the largest Pet Cemetery of its kind with many of the family pets of Powerscourt laid to rest there. The Gardens are very beautiful with many fountains, foot paths and rest areas
