The opportunity to visit RHS Hyde Hall was too good to miss havbg been in north London.So a slight detour home meant we could visit. But what a day to pick. It was grey, cold and yes at one point it rained.
But being hardy gardeners even if not dressed for the weather we fortfied ourselves with a coffee and made the most of the time.
Delightful hostas with a canopy above and no signs of slug attacks !
The grasses were in abundance and the wind kept them moving.
Which was fun to see.
And this literally moving sculpture of ash keys set beautifully against the long backdrop of lawns and trees caught the eye.
Even on the grey day it was as we expected a beautiful place to visit.
With plants from New Zealand
No self respecting garden can be without a decent pond
Rain literally stopped play so we retreated to the barn for hot soup and cake. A good move as then the weather cleared up and we could continue to look for ideas.
Now how about a bridge across my pond?
And while the roses were not really out, just a bit early in the season, many were.
We discovered that at last our neighbours have cleared their front garden. How delightful they called to see if we were okay as we were missed. They wanted advice about what to plant and of course they brought us food. Who on earth would want to leave Sheffield?
