I know all you really really want are pictures to look at. So here, celebrating our opening on the 3rd of June (Sunday afternoons 2-5 -our last year!) are some Veddw pictures. No plant names though…….
What’s this ?!!!!
And that was last month. June will be something else. (besides wet) Xxxx
“The question to ask is, ‘what is here that is true, that is underneath the superficial things? What is here that matters?”
Autobiography of a Garden is about the garden making, Pat’s life, the history of the land, the ideas, the art, the plants and the devouring deer.
But to dream, and perhaps more importantly, to innovate, we should inspire ourselves globally:
“Have issue. You were so adamant that you wouldn’t go to Chelsea again. Discuss, please”.
. And now, knowing we won’t live forever, we’re thinking about what will happen to the house and garden when we die.
The garden is actually interestingly old fashioned. It’s not just the bedding but the relentless inclusion of every garden cliché, however brilliantly executed.
I don’t imagine you expected the world of horticulture and gardens to escape the decolonising agenda. But if you have concerns …
“Maintaining tradition is only really helpful when the result is positive…”
Beautiful x
Thanks Paul – and good luck with your opening too! Xx
I can help out with the names: um, flowers, green tickly thingies, shrubberies, flowers, more flowers…. whew! I’m already worn out! But ALL are gorgeous!!!
“…our last year.” WHAT????
After this summer we’re not opening on Sundays anymore – freeeeedom! Xx (but will take coach parties and groups…)
Very nice. I suppose I will just have to pop along again for one last look around.
You will! xxx
Breathtaking. I fervently hope that going back to wales sometime soon is in our future…maybe next year? *sigh*
Hope so too! xxx
