Ahmad Irfans Garden

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Ahmad Irfans residence at Thokar Niaz Baig.
I have seen resident gardens of very rich, maintained by professionals on contract. It was of the same standard on a smaller scale and by far the best of the home gardens of our class.
His containers were delightful, showing exuberant growth covered with flowers.
We create lot of fuss regarding container soil. He uses simple canal silt with lot of compost, making his own compost.
The landscaping, shrubs, palms and hedges are all excellent.
I recommend all Lahore members to visit him say coming Sunday, I will not mind accompanying you.

Ahmad, how about a photographic panorama of your garden.

Would like to take photographs of his garden. Let us see how many lahore gardeners show interest

once someone on this forum proposed an idea of monthly get to gather bw forum members?

[khabbab]

Yes adnan. I think spring is the best time to do it. At least those members who have space they should be ready. I have PM irfan regarding his availability on weekend. After his green signal i will send PM to all lahore members. Members can also show their interest directly on this thread.

The famous wisteria of Brig Arif is ready for us coming week end. I am very anxious to sniff its fragrance and capture the hanging clusters of flowers. The next one can be Brig Arif. We can visit both of these in one go as well. One is thokar niaz beg the other is Gulberg. Yours can be next when all 3 beauties are in full swing.

Future visits can be made to Aykhan and Rafique.

Thank you Sir you are too kind in your description of my garden i was rather intimated by your perfect garden creating a heaven amongst all the hap hazard commercial development taking place at thokar niaz baig. Looking at your garden compels me to do more in my garden to make it as perfect as yours.

[rafique]

Agreed with Khabbab's suggestion.

Khabbab, Good Idea, tell you what, let us all assemble at my house, Enjoy the beauty and fragrance of Wisteria and after a cold drink move on to Thokar Niaz baig. My garden there is also now presentable, after a cup of tea we can move on to Ahmad Irfans house,
