The word for Saturday 18.04.2010 is JARDINIERE
Today's word is Jardiniere. Luckily this afternoon, we went to a garden centre at Morden Hall! It is a National Trust place that has a tearoom, a garden centre and amazing gardens, a water wheel, educational stuff and so on. So it was quite easy to choose an image for today's word. Before l checked in the dictionary, l thought it was a decorated container for living plants. Not far off actually but l also learnt it could also mean a garnish of mixed vegetables! You might learn something new every day on this blog..l frequently do!HA!
