Toman garden in Spring

The full beauty of the hillside garden is revealed in Spring, with its construction of pathways, stairways and terraces, while the first blossoms begin to fill the spaces with their colours and shapes. This is the early spring, and garden is already full of promise of blossoming and fruiting to come as gradually spring turns into summer and autumn.
