**PICTON NURSERIES** ASTERS GALORE!!

Amazing display of Asters and just love the wickerwork artwork. Thank you for sharing.

What a lovely sight,Angela..and I wish I had space for a few of those,the colours are wonderful..I must make a gap for at least two next year ! Lol.Love the Wicker artwork too..we have them in Valley gardens in Harrogate..and glad to see Edward is not alone in succumbing to a bribe..
:o) My,he is a going to be a heartbreaker before long :o)
Thanks for sharing this with us :o) x

Wow! Colour therapy or what!? I can imagine what it feels like to be amongst all those beautiful flowers. Your grandson is gorgeous, and I love those wicker statues too! I love that photo of the winding pathway. Less colour, but more 'me'! :))

...added to my favourites.

Wow from me too what a fantastic place, so much colour, I could kick myself now OH offered to take me to Malvern, we go most years for the Autumn show, but I didn't fancy the long drive this year so we went to Harrogate instead, next year I think it'll be a yes and this will be top of the list to visit :-), thanks for sharing really enjoyed your pictures :-)

Lovely asters and very colourful late in season. Mine have ceased to flower and now being cut down. They have planted themselves, but easy to clear if need be.Wish we could travel about and see such places, as we used to go here there and everywhere.

I've never quite taken to Asters but after seeing these beautiful photos showing what can be done in large blocks its definitely making me think again , I loved the Wicker figures they add an extra something to a garden and some excitement when you spot another one ....

Gone on my favourites to remind me of yet another lovely nursery to visit within striking distance. Great photos.

Stroller not too far for you I would imagine....
Amy I have always been a fan of daisies whatever size, shape or form, and this time of year they do add some colour to the borders..
Dorjac as you say easy to pull up if not wanted.....I know how you feel about the getting around, the older one gets the more difficult it becomes..
Simbad I can understand, it is a long way for you, rather nice to make a weekend of it, some wonderful hotels to stay at, good eating places, and lovely gift shops...
Thanks K Edward is the baby, his brother and sister are our eldest grandchildren being 23 and 26!!
Bloomer at least Asters come in all sizes, useful in a small garden, Edward being the youngest earns him a few privileges.....
Lindak pleased you enjoyed the blog, I have to admit we were both taken with the wickerwork......
Thank you all for your kind comments, it was an enjoyable morning, especially being with our family too....

Gone on my favourites too. I'm planning to revamp my front garden to put more asters in and make a really good show to end the season.

Stunning colour - it made me wonder what they did for colour the rest of the year.
I like Asters but they are not fans of my garden, they just look so rotten!
The wickerwork is just beautiful. All seem right at home where they've put them.
Thanks for sharing your day out.

How beautiful ! :o) What a wonderful sight ...

Now that is a nursery I'd love to visit, added to my favs as well, thankyou for sharing Dd...

I wondered what happens in summer too Scottish.
DD, Its a breathtaking display - what a good thing you noticed there was an open day! Do you know whether the wicker figures are made on the premises? there's definitely a talent at work there!

I love Michaelmas Daisies and the smell of Autumn.
Thank you for the lovely selection of photographs.

Lovely photos, DD! :-)) Like Diane, I, too, love Michaelmas Daisies! They remind me of when I was a small boy in London. We used to see them in gardens but often full of mildew! Nevertheless I always liked their colour at the back end of summer.

I would love to visit that Garden - I've already seen photos of it in various magazines - did you buy any plants to bring home, Angela? What a lovely blog - thank you for sharing it. I am adding it to favourites as well. :-D)

Barbara I did not buy any plants, have since ordered some online elsewhere,it takes me ages to pick out a good plant, and the family would have been driven mad, waiting for me to make a decision!
Balcony we both are passionate about daisies, and yet we only have one Aster! hopefully a few more by the end of the month...
Diane pleased you liked the blog....
Stera although they grow so many Asters, the garden is only open during their season, although, I believe all that could change with younger members taking on the nursery...
Lincs glad you enjoyed our visit, we were so lucky with the weather....
Hywel it was, thanks....
Scottish your welcome, there were coach parties arriving as we left.
Andrew I like the ones you have growing at the moment, hopefully we can get some started, you never know what will grow by the sea......

WOW.... so much colour and texture, lucky you walking around there....

Wonderful place, any idea what the yellow daisy is on the photo just above gorgeous Edward.

Dawn - it looks like a helianthus of some sort

Thanks for sharing your visit,Dd. What a fab place. I'm sorry that I don't live anywhere near or I'd be there right away. You have to wait a long time for the Asters, but they last a nice long time, so are worth it in the end, aren't they.

Thanks Andrew, beautiful isnt it.

It does, but some of them run badly so check before getting one.

Dawn pretty sure it is Helianthus Lemon Queen, hope so because just bought one off Ebay.... can make 6 ft!!
Feverfew pleased you enjoyed our visit as much as we did..
Sandra a stroke of luck we should be staying with our family at that particular time.

Hi Angela, just popped on to see how everyone doing, nice to see your still here and well, lovely pics here of your trip out and I'm sure your garden is still as beautiful.
I wish I had more time to come on here and keep up but always busy either painting or garden, but nice to be able to see everyone's gardens blooming.xx

Hi San, how lovely to hear from you, I hope you are well and fit, hows the painting going? are you famous yet!! lots of love xx
