Write a detailed description of a calm scene in a town garden with a fountain and a thicket of forsythia.

A barrier of hostas and ferns set between the flagstones and a fountain is wide enough to block visitors tempted to leave the path but narrow enough that with a favorable breeze someone could toss a few crackers into the water. Speckled carp swim lazily in the fountain, some weave among the lily pad stems and some nudge against the curved bowl as if looking for a crumb of bread. A thicket of forsythia grows between the path and the carillon.
