      This is Knoll Gardens, near Wimborne, Dorset yesterday. They specialise in all different grasses and show them to grateful effect in their gardens. Some unusual trees as well. 20240713_112406.jpg 20240713_112734.jpg 20240713_114136.jpg 20240713_112153.jpg

        My son and family, who live in France, have come to stay with us in Norfolk. We took them to Bressingham Gardens today. The gardens were looking beautiful as usual.

                  @Alan Clark Fabulous photo, so dramatic and making you look into all the nooks and crannies. Brilliant.

                          As part of the Heritage Open Days we visited Lytes Cary in Somerset. Very windy but the rain held off. They are doing a lot of work to renovate the 12 apostles (Yew sculptures). The orchard has quinces, medlars, bramleys, cox and other apples and cherry plums. The summer flowers are nearly over but it was still worth a visit. The house was open as well and some amazing furniture on display. A small tea room but very nice and a second hand book area. So many hedges to cut! The visit was free.
                          Sorry photos are not good but so windy.
