A visit to Wollerton Old Hall Gardens.

I'm lucky enough to be a short drive away from Wollerton Old Hall Gardens, located in Wollerton, Market Drayton, England and have been a couple of times this year. It's a stunning place, the gardens are inspirational and so full of colour. I've also made enquiries about volunteering there.
Hope you enjoy the pictures of my latest visit.

 

These images were taken on a previous visit in May this year.

Sorry to inflict myself on you! Eeek.

 

@Joolz It looks like a truly wonderful place, I can certainly understand why you'd want to volunteer there!

 

Thanks for sharing joolz , I really like the yew pyramids and hedges . I don't think the stachys byzantina works with the pink roses though .

 

Many thanks for sharing.
I have visited some local NT gardens with my daughter and grand kids.. Great, a day out and despite Amanda's disabilities it has been, lets push on. Me! I so often wish I could sit, if allowed. Amongst the plants, to in a sense drift back to the past when these gardens were first designed and planted, why? because I tend to view, music, art and horticulture as being avenues by which our predecessors have attempted to put into gardens, paintings, music etc how they viewd and appreciated the world around them. Sadly, so often. A simple day out doesn't allow that, such a shame.

 

@JWK It really is something, it always catches my breath when I walk around there. They also have a small plant sale area with specimens that they've grown on site. The plants are always superb. They vary from visit to visit, but Salvias seem to be a speciality of theirs. Well worth a trip if you do come this way. David Austin Roses is close too. Mind you, it's a bit too close to me as I'm only 5 mins away from it! lol

 

Lovely place to visit @Joolz and thanks for the wander with you. It is nice to meet you too, and is that hubby coming through the gate?

 

Looks like a stunning garden, thanks for sharing

 

You know, I hadn't even noticed I'd captured a chap walking through it, but no, he's not my hubster. I am taking him there in a week or so, so I'll get him to walk through the gate and take a piccy, lol..

I'm also tickled pink, I've been invited by the head gardener to have an afternoon working alongside him, as I'd enquired about volunteering. I'm going on July 16th so I'll let you all know how I get on! I'm a little excited!

 

Just a heads up.
Gardeners World is featuring this beautiful garden on their programme tonight. It's on tonight, rather than Friday as Golf is airing that day.

 

Yep, just watched it. Thoroughly enjoyed that
