Hi everyone, thought you might like to see some more photos of above garden when I visited 23rd July.
This is a map of the garden which may give you an idea of what the garden is like. The blue area is the canal.

This is where I walked down the side of the property, looking back up

Same area including view of terrace

As you walk around the corner, the view across the back of the house

As you walk past the cotinus, borders alongside the canal

Further along the garden, that is John Massey in the black jumper

Part of the rockery/gravel gardens

View to front door

Another path in front garden

The black foliage plants are eucomis, these were in Stickitoffees blog in June.

Thank you for looking! :^)

That is a beautiful garden, I love all the neat edges and curves. The seating area with tree trunk furniture is brilliant.

Lovely photos Daylily I havent uploaded mine yet, we got there just in time to see the Morris dancers. I must say the garden was most impressive and we look forward to going back in September to see the changes in the colour of the follage and trees.
