New Old Film Challenge #264: Green Fingers

Gardens, gardening tools, even gardeners themselves. Show us your best garden-themed picture.

As usual the following rules apply:
1) Must be taken by you
2) Must have been taken on film, notwithstanding which, digital post processing is allowed
3) Must have been taken and developed prior to the start date of this challenge

Discussion in the Discussion thread (link below) rather than this Entries thread, please.

Please include details of the camera, lens, film etc and anything else of relevance, if you can possibly the details remember that far back. Perhaps you could also explain you reasons for the choice of image, as long as it doesn't contain vacuous statements like these:

"For me, photography means endless inspiration.
I use photography the way a painter might use paint.
Without photography I couldn't make my art..."

I could go on, but please don't allow me.

Entries close some time after midnight Monday 11th August 2025, following which a voting page will be opened with a three day voting window.

Please keep all discussion and comments in the "new old film discussion thread" https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/new-old-film-challenge-discussion-thread.698995/page-24

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OLD RULE THAT 'THE PICTURE MUST BE SCANNED BEFORE THE DATE OF THE CHALLENGE' HAS BEEN RESCINDED!
 
Mamiya C220, Ilford Delta 100. Winter 2012

Away from the glitz and glamour of Brentford High Street, hidden down a maze of backstreets is an area most tourists never see. A canal-side community of barge dwellers, decaying industrial buildings and the occasional oddly positioned boat. Squeezed in between the towpath and the more permanent buildings there are often small gardens, usually adorned with boating flotsam and jetsam, like this one.

2025 Update. This little garden is now no more, Brentford is undergoing huge regeneration, not in itself a bad thing, but I do mourn the disappearance of these little gems.
