Dotty Daisy's Open Day

my goodness, what a fantastic garden, wish I could have been there also, you never told me about cakes, kept that one quiet, who are the two beautiful ladies in this blog please, so glad you all had a wonderful day, the weather looked to be good for you.

Glad you enjoyed the photos Yorks, I have put the names of the two ladies on now. The weather wasn't very warm but the rain kept away. I don't seem to have taken a photo of Flori, but Shirley may have one. But we all really enjoyed the day.

what a beautiful garden ~ i can easily see why you would travel a long way to see that! thank you cinderella and dotty daisy.

oh thats my mate Shirley, thanks for that, keep looking to see if the girls have put their blogs on yet, that garden looks a dream,

a dream is right yorkshire

What a lovely garden, so organised and tidy and how it is laid out makes it look so much bigger. Some people just have a knack at setting out their gardens. I'm glad that you enjoyed your day - it's a good thing being able to meet up with other GOYers.

There is a great collection of potted succulents making a lovely display there. It is a gem of a garden and it is nice that you were all able to meet one another and enjoy such a lovely day...complete with cakes too :)

Glad the rain held off for you. We've had so much rain up here in the NW...it's finally cleared up (but lots of grey clouds hanging around still). The only good thing if we do have a good rainfall it sure saves on the watering :)

Lovely photos, Cinders. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

What a beautiful garden! Love it! :)))) Thank you for sharing :)))

Thank you girls for your lovely comments, it was a wonderful afternoon.

Oh wow, what a gorgeous garden, Love the succulents and the arches, the grass looks perfect to, Love DDs new seat, it looks perfect there, And the way the garden has different areas, DD has a great eye for design, Beautifull garden, I love it..
PS, The Tropical border is not in your blog Cinderella :( lol. Maybe Flori or shirley will put one up..

Hi there, Cinders, great meeting up in such a gorgeous garden yesterday. The pics are great. Cakes feature on my blog for anyone who's feeling hungry . . . .

Thanks Shirley, lovely meetin you too, and OH. Did you see the comment by YDD about the tropical garden ? expect Flori will do that if you haven't got a pic.
Thanks YDD. Sorry about the tropical bit. It was fab though.

cheeky wotsit here Shirley, just seen your wonderful blog

I 'lost' a whole line of pics off the screen, another of my techie errors and am so cross as they were the 'jungle area' amongst others. Sorry, sorry Ydd! You'll have to look out for the blog from Flori . . .

That was very enjoyable - thank you, Cinderella. It's interesting to see Dd's garden through different eyes.

What a gorgeous garden! It looks immaculate. Such a lot of hard work to make it like that - but well worth the time and effort. I echo Puddleduck's comment - 'Congratulations' to Dd and her husband. :-)))

Thank you everyone so much, beautiful comments, and I am sure DD will feel very proud that you all think so highly of her garden. I have been out for the evening so couldnt respond before now. Many thanks again.

Lovely pics, Cinderella! The garden is gorgeous isn't it, there's not a petal nor blade of grass out of place, it's like something out of 'Homes and Gardens', very chic, the plants are billowy and beautiful, and if you'll excuse me, I'm just off to stuff her gorgeous Lutyens bench in my handbag...heeeave!...

Absolutely stunning...seing how beautiful the lawn keeps, makes me wish we had just a little more moisture here, ah well..
Well done..

I'm glad you all had a lovely day, Dd's garden looks wonderful. Hi to Dd and Shirley, nice to see you both

The best of gardening isnt it?. Bringing people together & simply enjoying like-minded interests. The stone trough & succulents has inspired me as I need an idea for my gravel patch re-vamp.
Happy days & smily faces!!

Thank you Libet, hope you are enjoying the bench.

Hi Crissue, Your garden is lovely too.
Thank you Annella, and Bampy, the stone troughs did look nice.

Hi Posty, this is not my garden, but one I visited last weekend, but I can tell you that they are roses, New Dawn and Compassion. The garden belongs to Dotty Daisy.

I am sure they will be. They are climbing roses.

Lovely blog with some wonderful pictures of a gorgeous garden. I particularly love that first picture with the path going under that archway... makes me want to explore further :)

Yes those archways were lovely Jennyfer as was the whole garden. The pathway led to a jungle garden.
