Houghton Garden Walk on September 28th, 2022

I walked around for around 35 minutes in Houghton Garden. It's a wild garden with a stream and a lagoon-like pond, the garden also has some nice footpaths to walk around. I related this to the in-class comment that Professor Olins made about trees having a relaxing effect on us, and I felt that during my walk. According to the website, uncommon migrating birds are seen there; unfortunately, I didn't see any of these birds during my walk. It was nice and warm, so I got to see some squirrels running around, especially running away from some dogs that were on a walk. As you progress through the garden, it leads you up a little hill with a stone bench at the top; I sat there for a few minutes enjoying the nature around me and then carried on with my walk.
