	Glovers Community Garden
		The space between the celtus and the main part of the garden is occupied by compost bays and a shadecloth-covered nursery.
		To the imaginative visitor, Glovers - with its white concrete building, herbs, vegetables, climbers on trellises and young citrus at the bottom of the garden - might appear as a transplanted piece of Mediterranean garden.
		Glovers provides a fine example of organic vegetable and herb gardening, so it should be no surprise that TAFE and community permaculture courses have made use of the garden for site visits over the years.

	Significant Scots - Thomas Blake Glover
		Glover married a woman called Tsura, the daughter of a samurai, who many believe was the inspiration for Puccini's opera - Madame Butterfly, since she habitually wore the emblem of a butterfly on her clothes.
		Glover was not only the first to introduce much western technology to Japan but was also the first non-Japanese to be presented with the Order of the Rising Sun - one of the country's top honours.
		Glover's house in Nagasaki is now the centrepiece of "Glover Garden", Western Japan's top tourist attraction with almost 2 million visitors each year.

	John Glover and the Australian Landscape II
		Glover’s son John jr reported that they were: not incommoded by rain, bushrangers, snakes or any other vermin.
		In describing it John Glover said: situated at the further end of the town, on a steep hill, and overlooking the whole town, harbour and surrounding hills, a romantic, pleasing view.
		By the use of several viewpoints, Glover has manipulated the scene to include more information for potential viewers e.g all the streets, the ‘important’ colonial buildings, as well as the flourishing foreground garden and the house, appear in a somewhat flattened panoramic vista.

		Gardeners looking for a “berry” good fall should try berry plants, which certainly last longer than flowers and can be enjoyed for a long, long period of time.
		It is common to create an air layer when you want to replicate a plant in your garden, but sometimes the new plant does not have all of the same characteristics as the old one.
		This is the time of year to begin thinking about changing the flowers in your garden to those that are better prepared to handle the conditions of the fall and winter.

	Newsvine - Glover Joins Crusade to Save LA Garden
		With actress Daryl Hannah standing beside him and veteran tree-sitters John Quigley and Julia Butterfly Hill perched overhead in an old walnut tree, Glover said the farmers' 14 acres of beans, tomatoes, squash, watermelon and other fruits and vegetables were not only providing sustenance to some 350 families but also setting a worldwide example.
		Surrounded by a tall chain-link fence and locked gates, the garden is filled wall-to-wall with various plants, including exotic spices and herbal medicines that people in the poor, largely Hispanic neighborhood interspersed among the warehouses say are often unavailable at local grocery stores.
		Glover said city officials "abdicated their responsibility" when they quietly returned the property to Horowitz, and he blasted the developer for putting profit ahead of conscience.

		A quiet garden with polished stone benches, a carp pool and statues of saints and popes with connections to Japan sits at the foot of the church's steep steps.
		Glover Garden is where the first foreign captains of industry lived in Japan — men who made their fortunes in tea and iron and shipping and fisheries, and then married and raised their families here.
		But the real reason to visit Glover Garden is the view — a 180-degree panoramic look at a city spreading like ivy over the green mountains crowding the harbor on three sides.

		That gave Glover a chance to meet with the condemned young brother while the ticking of the death clock was still vivid in his mind.
		Thanks to Glover and the groundswell of support from Amnesty International, scores of church officials and human-rights activists, Gary Graham is still alive, going from one day to the next on an indefinite stay of execution while his legal counsel pressed for a new trial.
		The truth is, Danny Glover could probably retire from acting tomorrow and live off the proceeds from the millions he mad playing police officer roger Murtaugh in the Gibson and Glover moneymaking Lethal Weapon series.

	WISHES
		However, until the June 1996 presentation of a life-size statue of Puccini in Glover Garden by an Italian government delegation from the composer's home province of Lucca, few residents of the city thought of the opera in terms of its Italian-Japanese connections.
		A small relief of Puccini had existed in the Garden since 1963, but it was dwarfed by a statue of Miura Tamaki, the most famous Japanese soprano to perform the role of Cho-Cho San.
		It is interesting to note that the party did not visit Glover's house, but instead had its picture taken at No.14 Minamiyamate, which had been built for the British merchant William J. Alt as a family residence in the mid-1860s before it was used as the U.S. consulate.

		Most famous is Glover Mansion, Japan's oldest Western-style house, built in this location in 1863 and romanticized as the home of Madame Butterfly, the fictitious, tragic heroine of Puccini's opera.
		Married to a Japanese woman (and much more faithful than his Puccini counterpart), Thomas Glover was a remarkable Scotsman who, among other things, financially backed and managed ship-repair yards in Nagasaki, brought the first steam locomotive to Japan, sold guns and ships, and exported tea.
		Although an outdoor escalator in a garden devoted to Meiji-Era buildings might seem a little bizarre, the Japanese point out that it's there for the benefit of seniors who might find the climb up the hill too strenuous.

		It was a Scot, however, named Thomas Glover who is considered the strongest influence on Nagasaki's rush to industrialize.
		Glover's contributions have been honored today by Glover Garden, a hill on which the 19th-century expatriate settlement in Nagasaki has been re-constructed as a tourist attraction, including a replica of Glover's own home (bottom right).
