Capel Manor

Have you ever been to a place and thought, "wow, this would be a great place to take pictures?" We went there today, and it was gorgeous. The Rotary program has what is called the Group Study Exchange program (GSE). This year, 5 people from Argentina came to London on the GSE program for a month. The Edmonton Rotary Club has been taking them around London to the different sights that they would be interested in. 4 of the 5 were Environmental Engineers, Lawyers and something or others. The 5th was an English teacher. Being Environmentalist, Rotary took them to a horticulture school today called Capel Manor- and they were great and invited Steven and I to come along with them.

Despite being the end of the season, the Capel Manor grounds (here to for now known as CMG), were breathtaking. They have all sorts of landscaping classes that range from DIY & How To classes, as well as Floristry courses, animal care (mainly horse and reptile) courses. The grounds were separated into different areas to reflect that type of garden or geographic area. This is what makes it my favorite college grounds to have ever visited.
