Another visit to Nymans Gardens

Julia, as we are National Trust members it is free admission, but it would cost for an adult £18 or £19.80 with Gift Aid. The two Lattes were £7.20, but as I said they were not hot enough!!
We found a new place for lunch on the drive back ... a bacon and brie toastie hit the spot for me ... :o)

A lovely place to visit, I enjoyed my cuppa while walking around with you Shirley :)

Fab blog and smashing pics too, Shirley!! I enjoyed 'my' visit this morning ;-D
Such a beautiful place to visit and take in the abundance of Spring blooms and colour - not to mention all the architectural evergreens too!!!
It looks like a real haven for wildlife and gardeners alike! I can't choose a favourite flower pic to be honest - they are all pretty perfect! Thank you for sharing your lovely day out!!

Well, as it happened Shirley, I was just having a cuppa when I put your blog on.
I really loved it and I imagine you must have spent most of the day there!
I could make a long list of everything I liked , but will just saying it was all amazing!
Thank you for sharing. It must have taken quite a while to put the photos on here.

I've really enjoyed spending time there with you Shirley! Smashing photos of everything, I especially love the painted mistle thrushes, I can imagine the prices...Thanks for the lovely tour..:))

Superb buildings in those beautiful grounds. What a fabulous place to spend a day. It is so lovely in the springtime so please show us summer Shirley!!

Lovely photos, Shirley. We stopped our NT membership 2 years ago after many decades of support.

What a lovely blog Shirley. I’m so impressed by your restraint in the sales area. I guess pergolas always rot in the end. It’s a pity isn’t it. I’m sure they will be able to restore it. I love that striking golden bamboo! It is a lovely time of year with all the rhododendrons in bloom. Sorry about your fern. It must be too dry at your place. You should move to Dorset…no such problems here! lol!

WOW! Shirley, that was a wonderful tour! 👍I really loved seeing all those flowers as well as the trees! Lucky you to catch a butterfly & a hover fly in the same shot! A couple of days ago I saw a bee on my flowers on the balcony but, a part from some BIG flies - I haven't see any other insects flying around yet.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. We were there for about 2 hours and I took a ridiculous amount of photos! It took me ages to cull them down for this blog.

The lovely artwork prices were £175 for the rectangular ones I showed and £250 upwards for the larger ones.

We have retained our N.T. membership but discontinued the RHS one.

Shirley I really enjoyed my tour with you, it looks a fabulous place to visit, sadly too far for us so appreciate you sharing your day, I cannot believe you were able to resist buying a little something, we are members of NT and EH, both gift shops can be very expensive so now I always go home with a plant even if its only a succulent or cactus....Lovely photo's and blog , I'm click crazy when I have my camera, must have took you an age to do Shirley..xx

Really looks like an amazing place to visit, some lovely photographs there, have put it on my places to try and visit this year, will have a look at my daughter's national trust membership, see what it includes. Going to the flower show at tatton park in July then of to rhs bridgewater the following day as it is close, so looking forward to that.

Sue, thanks for looking in on this blog. We shall return to see the Roses later in the year.

I didn't buy any new plants as I am struggling to find space in my garden for the plants I overwintered in pots, two Fuchsias, 3 Salvias and some new Alstroemerias! Why I bought packets of seeds to sow in April is beyond me ... :o)

Davey, I like the sound of your planned visits to Tatton Park and Bridgewater later in the year ... looking forward to reading about them.

Thanks for posting your day at Nymans. It must have taken you a long time to do & we all appreciate that. I am still in bed 7 25am, so it was a nice start to my day. So much lovely blossom around at present. A wonderful time of year ( when it’s not raining)!

Josie, I enjoyed looking through the photos to put on and time just flew past really! We have rain yet again today ... :o(

Like Rose, I had made myself a cuppa just before logging in here and had a very enjoyable coffee break looking at your photos. What a fabulous place Nymans is at any time of the year but so inspiring in Spring. I'm not sure I could have been so self controlled as you, Shirley, a potted plant or two would likely have travelled home with me, lol. Thank you for taking the time to share so many of your photos, as Feverfew said, viewing them has been a lovely start to the day.

Xela, thankyou so much for your kind words, glad you enjoyed the blog.
