Isn't it strange, I could be sure that Mr S came with me the first time I went to these beautiful gardens. Just to prove that this time he came....
It was a chilly but dry day, and I think we just about went everywhere. They were at least a couple of weeks behind in the flowering time compared to the south face of the Mendips, which quite surprised me at the gardens are further south and closer to the sea.
The long border had yet to have much on interest, but there were some rather lovely plantings in other parts of the garden, and several plants of interest:
Spirea trilobata with it attractive fresh green leaves had a great form. Of course the flowers are yet to come.
Deutzia x rosea 'Cherry Dream has an elegance in form and the most striking of flowers.
More to follow......
It sounds as if you had a good day out Noelle. Mr.S looks quite content sitting there and what a beautiful deutzia. Looking forward to the next instalment 😀
