Garden Visits

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

Thanks! It's just an old Nikon D40 using manual settings. Some photos aren't too good as it was busy and I was rushing.

Self seeders - they germinated in June!

Sorry Freddy forgot they'd changed their name, about time too as more and more of us own motorhomes these days

An absolute Jem Kindredspirit. So much character,can’t wait to visit. Thanks for the heads up.

I used to live a couple of miles from Dewstow. I grew up around that area and my mother told me about the sunken gardens. She remembers seeing them being neglected and partially buried during the second world war. I spent hours as a child searching for a trace of those gardens, I was...

Homeacres open day Sept. 3rd 12-5pm - No Dig Organic GardeningDammit, this is on Sunday 3rd and I'm going to Somerset on Wed, will make a diary note for next year.

I remember enjoying the Ness gardens.G.

I've been to both of those. Waddesdon is a Rothschild house.G.

Looks really pretty! Had my first visit there earlier in the year, didn't realise they had a Light Show at this time of year. Might just have to go at some point

Oh dear .

Hi Anthony , yes I was on holiday in area but it was 2011 , at the swannery too . Very enjoyable it was .

Free entry to the gardens yesterday (Heritage Open Day event). I've been through them before with somebody who worked there, but much later in the year and didn't take any pics. Managed to time it right and catch the only 45 minutes when it wasn't raining today (but still grey skies).Only...

I'd give my eye teeth for that glasshouse, looks fantastic, think a green tinge is creeping over my face.

Plural? You tried all of them?

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 .
