Four out of four

Well we have managed to visit all four RHS Gardens in the one year. A trip to stay with our middle daughter Rachel saw us go on the next day to RHS Wisley.

 

What a brilliant place to walk within.

The canal looked super and must look amazing when all the water lilies are on the surface and in flower but it is only April.

Now this is meant to be the Queen and her partner recognise the likeness? 

Great to just stroll with daughter and chat.

The Glass house was fantastic both from the outside and within....

  

Bird of paradise looking good

Wonderful small flowers just breaking out in the warmth and light.

The lake helps to provide the water for the glasshouse which is super efficient.

Great rollng borders

Wonderful small areas drawing on a Japanese style.

Trees everywhere, Sheffield City council take note!

 

Of course Tulips in great swathes 

And some very odd looking fir trees

We will need to go back to see the grounds again to explore the gardens in a different season.     

So a post Easter week is over and its back to work tomorrow. Seven weeks of electionering  to look forward to !!

Plus the one in France.... We are just so lucky. However democracy is a great thing.
