Barnsdale Gardens.

Looks a very nice place LL. Between camera & phone, some great pics as well!

Very nice blog:0)

Geofff was the TV gardener who really got me 'hooked' on gardening, I remember how upset I was for weeks after he died. He was a 'real' gardener, not a media personality like so many of those who came after him. I have a 'Geoff Hamilton' rose in my garden, and it was planted to keep him in mind. I don't think 'Gardener's World' has been the same since he went.

You did really well with the cameras ( or lack thereof! ) and I really enjoyed the blog. Thank you so much, lincslass!
;-)

same here bscott :)
It's a place I would love to visit, thanks for the photos :)

Lovely blog.... and good photos.
thank you. :o)

Thanks for the look around Barnsdale LL. You did well even without your camera, lovely pics.

Thanks Linclass it was a wonderful trip, I enjoyed seeing all the different parts, and yes Geoff Hamilton was my favourite too.

thanks Linda, im so jealous . if there was only one garden i had to choose to visit it would be Geoff's. his fault im into gardening lol. what a great man he was

A delightful tour Lincslass thank you,if you go back again will you ask them for me how they grow cabbages out in the open like that without them being absolutely ravaged by caterpillars?

I would loved to have gone on that visit with you.....always watched gardenders world with Geoff Hamilton he was one of my favourites..............

Lovely blog and photos

I'll agree with all the others and say of all the tv gardeners he was the easiest to watch and did get down and get his hands dirty. My favourite as well.

lovely blog lincs, i use to really enjoy watching jeff and he made things clear and interesting, always happy and smiling,

I went there several years ago and loved it to bits - seeing all the gardens he had created over the years. The Reclamation Garden was one of his last projects before he died. My favourites were the Artisan's cottage garden and the Rose Garden. I would love to go again one of these days and see the memorial garden.

Lovely blog Lincslass and echo the sentiments On GH ..and how well you did with phone and other camera.

Thanks all we are hoping to go back before daughter goes back to work so will obviously tie camera round neck before leaving home,its only about 6 miles away for us,it is lovely to walk around because one pictures him doing the progrmmes and I swear his voice comes to mind.................

The photos were lovely I felt I had been there with you both. Wishful thinking

Do you know? I forgot to say how much I enjoyed your blog and photos, I went straight away and Googled "Barnsdale gardens" to see how close they were.
I enjoyed it that much. :~))

Lovely blog, thanks Lincslass ....I loved Geoff Hamilton...:>)

Forgot to mention, I think that the roses planted around the sculpture of Geoff ARE 'Geoff Hamilton'......they'd have to be, really, wouldn't they? It's a nice, upright, strong rose but has a horrible habit of 'balling up' in the rain and then the flowers rot rather than open. Worth growing in a drier climate than ours!

That's wonderful. I didn't know you could visit his garden :o)

I too loved Geoff and thought he knew gardenening through loving it and doing it.
To me gardeners world this year is really poor.

Great blog Lincslass, I was a huge fan in my younger days
and he was a great encouragement to my gardening career. I hope to visit Barnsdale myself oneday, it looks brilliant.
