Wellbeing Garden

Hello Janey,this is so eerie,as I was only wondering this week if you were well,as it seems ages since we heard from you,but as I hadn't been posting much either,it seems we have both been in the same frame of mind :o)

This is really beautiful,and such a lovely story.
We have a local Lady Artist too,who has carved lots of different Animals,birds etc,in a local park,and such a joy to see,and marvel at their skills..
Thanks for this Janey,I love it,and added to Favourites .. xx

You found a beautiful place Janey and chose to share it with us. It is a really lovely story - thank you for coming back to us and sharing it.

Fancy that Sandra! I hadn't forgotten anyone, or GoY, I had so much to do, different appointments and Mum in Law has been.in hospital twice, she is 92 now. She has carers twice a day now and has finally agreed, she does need them, which has been half the battle. :)
Pleased you've enjoyed it Sandra. Your local.park sounds delightful, these carvings seem to have an innocence that automatically make you smile.

Oh thank you Wildrose..:)

We must have been on the same wavelength,Janey.. Lol. It has been such a busy time for you,and I'm glad your mum in Law,has made the right decision,which will have helped you a lot,and hope you are feeling better too..x
I must take some photo's of the carvings in our park,next time we visit,so that's another blog to think about for another time.. :o) xx.

Good to see you back on the site, Janey! Hopefully you've been keeping well!
Thanks for sharing the Wellbeing garden with us! What a wonderful addition to Normanby Hall! I haven't been in such an age! I shall have to revisit again.
Thanks too for the information, very interesting 🤗

Welcome back, Janey. interesting place and love the carvings.

A lovely place to visit, love all the owls. Thank you for sharing the place with us.

lovely to see you and the blog is lovely. I really like Normanby hall, tended to go 3 or 4 times a year pre pandemic. Need to go again soon.

Hi Janey, good to see you back!
It was interesting to see another side of Normanby. I used to work at the Iron and Steel Research
Association in Sheffield and we had a small branch at Normanby. It has only ever been just a word to me and it was lovely to see this side to it. It was a great idea to make the garden and I love the owls and the Nepeta specially!
Not many gardens have a love story on site, especially one with bicycles!

Janey- I would love to create a well being garden for fellow village residents where I live. Unfortunately due to ongoing vandalism in local play park I don't think it would be a good idea. I will open my garden next year and try to include as many 'wellbeing' aspects in it. Thank you for sharing- you've give me some ideas.

We must have Sandra! M in L called go ambulance, but been over, all ok, cancelled it...:(( You take care too and yes that would be lovely to see the carvings in the park. x

It really is Kate, very soothing to the soul.
Yes, you'd like it :))

It Julia, 10 minutes away. Great for walking Lottie too. I will, you too.

Thank you Ange and Feverfew.

You'd enjoy it now Sbg, a lot of money has been ploughed into it.

Did you really Stera? Normanby itself is a very pretty village with lots of cottages that at one time would have belonged to the estate. I was a BSC girl myself, based at Brumby Hall in Scunthorpe. Normanby Hall country park is it's full title now, a beautiful House and estate. The bicycles made me smile..:))

Hi Klahanie, yes I will, you too.

Hello Amsterdam, I'm sorry to hear that, but it seems to be the norm now.
Wow, how lovely that you have found inspiration here to help in your own garden.
The blue and yellow scheme is very calming and you can get all types of nepeta now. I have 6 Hills giant at home. You're very welcome to have some to start your garden.

Janey- thank you for your kind words. Well your offer od some nepeta seems one I cannot refuse!! I especially like the combination of yellow achillea and blue/lilac nepeta combo. I myself have created a yellow/orange and blue/purple border this year. It still has to grow into its own but so far so good. Thank you again.

You're more than welcome. Send me a pm with your address Amsterdam. It's a lovely nepeta and one I think they used in the Wellbeing Garden. Very easy to split and replant.
The colours you've chosen for your border, look lovely I bet..Opposites on the colour wheel, so will always look great together..:)

Wow, Janey - what did you do at Brumby? I worked in the information dept in Sheffield. No gardens there at all, but I
did smuggle an ivy plant into the library...I have a copper coloured rose next to my Nepeta - it would go well with your yellow and blue.

Secretarial work Stera, to a lovely boss, head of Purchasing. Beautiful place to work too.
So many funny stories, that were commonplace then, but not now!
Did you? We were lucky with pretty 1970s rose beds etc. But two stunning Cedar of Lebanon's at the main entrance.
Yes I bet they go well together..:)

Just found this blog Janey!
I love all the gardens, but especially the love story!
I also loved all the carvings!
Is this garden in Norbanby Hall ?
We haven't been there in years and we also live in Lincolnshire on the coast.

Hi Rose, aw, thank you. Yes Normanby Hall.
Do you? Are you further south than me?

Cleethorpes Janey! Not sure where you are!

What a lovely blog Janey, and I’m only six months late to appreciate it … sorry! A beautiful garden and a bicycle love story too which made me smile 🙂.
Thank you. x

Oh, I've forgotten to reply to Rose, Sheila.
Sorry Rose, you are south east from me, I'm north of Scunthorpe, near the Humber.

Haha Sheila, it's nice to read a summery one in winter tho. It is a lovely old fashioned story, so much love and there in the garden too. I did love the blue and yellow scheme and mainly herbs..x
