Location of Hill Garden

This is a picture of my DH Brad and my younger sister Julie playing games while we were on our way to the big hill garden to do some planting. The hill garden is located some 300 meters away from our place. To go to this garden, we follow the end of the road in our village. In the picture above, just behind my DH is the roof of the waiting shed which is the end of the road and this is also the turning point for all private and public utility vehicles including taxis. We turn left from this waiting shed and follow a walkway that goes downhill passing by some of our neighbor's houses. Then we cross a small foot bridge and some neighbor's gardens which is on a flat area and then we go uphill to reach the hill garden.  At the top of the hill garden is the national road. Fifty meters from the the top of the garden is the new main gate of Camp John Hay. There is actually a short cut that leads to the main gate of the former American base by using the trail from the foot bridge going past the flat gardens below and then going uphill and one would come up to the main gate in about 8 minutes. Anyway, my late mother has been tending and tilling this hill garden since Peace Time or since after WW2. There are a lot of tall pine trees in this hill garden which makes it too shady for vegetable planting.
