english garden jigsaw puzzle

I have been doing Springbok puzzles since I was a kid. And that is not an insignificant amount of time (translation: I’m old, and I’ve loved jigsaw puzzles for decades). Springbok puzzles have consistently been the best puzzles I’ve done. The pieces always snap together well and hold tight. The pieces are not so small that they keep getting lost, and I love the wide variety of illustrations and photos they use.

I chose this puzzle specifically because it was an English Garden. I am such a nerd for English gardens, and I was really looking forward to putting this puzzle together, a cup of Ear Gray at arm’s length. However, what I got was the Colorful Coast. I love this art too, the bright colors and inviting beach. But it’s not the English Garden. I did return it, to exchange it for the English Garden, and got the Colorful Coast again. Like I said, I love this art too, so I decided to go with it this time. But I was a little disappointed not to get the English Garden puzzle I wanted.

I did enjoy putting this puzzle together. As I said, I have always loved Springbok puzzles. I love the quality and feel of the pieces, and I’m happy to put together any colorful, fun puzzle. This is a great puzzle. It’s just not a garden.
