Garden Visits

You too eh!. Mad couple of weeks here too - but sanity may be in te offing this weekend, and I'll share some gardens. :D

Brill pictures, Fran! And that peacock has chosen himself a cunning spot for show!

Oooh, petal - bootiful!! And I remember Happisburgh (pronounced 'Hazeborough' for you none East Anglian types!) Happy days!

This a lovely jewel of a garden just outside Oxford, entered through old walled gate and woodland. I try and visit every year and I defy anyone to visit and not come away bearing plants.The rose garden has to smelled to be believedThe iris and delphs are just knock out...

If anyone travels to North Devon, be sure to visit Rosemoor gardens, near Barnstaple. Its an RHS garden and has a huge variety of beautiful plants and their roses are gorgeous. If you havent been already, dont miss the Eden Project in Cornwall...its fantastic. But DONT wear jumpers in the domes!
