We are truly fortunate to live near to so many beautiful places ~ and here's another one...

East Lambrook Manor Gardens : "One of the most important influences on gardening in the 20th century..." John Sales

The garden at East Lambrook Manor is recognised throughout the world as the ‘Home of English Cottage Gardening’, having been created in the 1940's, 50's and 60's by the late gardening icon, Margery Fish. Mrs Fish entered the world of gardening late in her life and as a novice she showed a quite brilliant talent for artlessly mixing the everyday plants with the rarer species, with an eye for colour, texture and form."

Here's a gallery of images I've taken at the gardens over a period of a few years.

I hope you enjoy the gallery. If you're ever anywhere near East Lambrook, I'd encourage you to drop in as they serve some excellent food in the tea shop, too!

Best regards, Chris

P.S. I'm a complete duffer when it comes to the names of the flowers! So if you can help me with telling me any of their proper names that would be great! Thanks!
