Garden Visits

More great pictures, thanks leaves.

naughty Only one time of year when I think it's worth the long drive (400 mile return trip! - and even then combined with a holiday) That's because members can get replacement car permits FOC and some naughty people were getting them and then selling them on ebay.

A lovely Garden - so thoughtfully planted, thank you Strongy, hope you are starting to feel stronger now, Jenny

More images from Temple Newsum. Enjoy robert

....Paladin - you can get some super "Dorset" cream teas around Weymouth!!! ... and I think its a good job I don't like cream - the jeans wouldn't cope!!!! - but a good wedge of "Dorset" apple cake - mmmmmmm - nothing like it!! Mind you, I wouldn't refuse a fresh scone and home-made...

Oops. I meant to say lovely photos Fran. Sorry.

Great shots Mira, it's going to be great.

Hi Anthony, no we was looking at that the other day though, i like medieval history i target mediaeval areas with my metal detecting hobby, i am just researching Baslow that @ARMANDII mentioned in another thread, hoping to find a farmer from the area tomorrow and try and can get some permission .

For anyone who like pics (and we know everyone does) I`ve posted some on the blogs section of the forum. Thanks again for all the recommendations. Hayes in Ambleside is awesome and we came across a great little place in Grassmere where we got some cheapo perennials. (Top tip for you) They...

They have a small stall with a few plants for sale but not very many and not a nursery! A very nice relaxed garden, not too many visitors and loads of unusual plants.

Well worth the trip Marley! Not sure the glasshouse rivals Kew but it is a spectacular place (and has a waterfall)

If you are Strongy your welcome to call at my abode.

Ho Will:dh:..:lollol:

I am going there next Saturday

The dog doesn't look too impressed Honey Bee!!! :rolleyes: :D :D

Redstar,it is near the South Coast in Dorset as is Compton Acres.

Strangely enough, I didn't!!!! I think the prices are similar to other Exotic GC's but I didn't see anything I wanted (needed). I fancied the Agave Medio-picta but at £50 or £80 I walked past them. I did buy a Yucca Recurvifolia 'Banana Split' at Tatton Park NT shop for a fiver. Vicky, as...

Maybe not quite everywhere but but there are lots of parks and plants. Many verges at the edge of the roads are tended or have wild flowers growing, a very beautiful island.

Superb gardens! Thanks for sharing the great photographs with us. Wonderful use of Alchemilla to soften the edges of one of the pathways, now, if only I can do the same with mineâ?¦ perhaps a little coaxing will control it and make it go where I want it to.:hehe:

I'm sure thats not the case Jack, I did all the work myself so it didn't actually cost me much, just a few packets of seed and I found the water feature in a skip - that's what I told Mrs JWK anyway :o
