Weather much cooler with some overnight rain.
These are the beds around the main lawn. I love this look (as you know!). Alliums at their zenith. |
Bog garden with the candelabra primulas |
Bush by my office |
The view of the path changes every week |
This fern is at that once a year stage where the ferns are like shepherd's crooks. |
Pergola |
An unusual view through the azaleas to the pond |
The whole aim is to get the rhododendrons to 'merge'. We planted these 10 years ago. That's how long you have to wait |
So, as we planted these this year, I guess I will have to wait 10 years for the effect I want! |
These are the paths and steps through the woods. Most of the 3.5 acres of the garden are like this. Wild, shady and very green! |
We have planted a whole bank of cistus (white and pink) They are just coming out! |
