Beth Chatto's Garden Pt. 4

Here we are, finishing our meander around Beth's garden
Do see the last 3 posts if you have not done so

An insect Hotel

found in many gardens these days

and out to the nurseries 

This is not a garden centre but a nursery where they grow their own plants

and sell them

then back into the formal garden through the woodland

There are 4 ponds throughout this garden of differing sizes and plantings

I do hope you have enjoyed visiting with me

I am sure you can see why I took over 100 photos

We stopped here for lunch

before visiting another garden in the vicinity -

not as outstanding as Beth's which has been a 60 year project

but interesting all the same and the subject of another post

Beth Chatto's garden Pt. 3

Continuing our walk around the garden. Paths lead in all directions and the island beds can be viewed from both sides

Still more to come on this beautiful garden

One just keeps on walking in all directions

Beth Chatto's Garden Pt. 2

Now moving on from the gravel/dry garden into the more formal and water gardens

For those who questioned the dry garden in last post, 

Essex, my home county is known as the dryest county in England

Anyone would be forgiven for thinking that was a joke over this last year

Do check on Pt. 1 if you have not already done so where you will see some history of this outstanding garden which was the vision of Beth Chatto 60 years ago

Here we see Beth's home on the left

we will just walk around taking photos as we go

A taste of Summer to be remembered and looked forward to again

Still lots of photos to come of this enchanting place
