March at the Valley Gardens.

What awesome photos Surreylad !! lovely displays - beatiful Pieris indeed!!! Glad the Gunnera on the way back!!! Brilliant conifers and flowers there. Your girls are beautiful - love the magnolias rhodies photo a lot !!! Also that big conifer 2 after. Lovely last photo to end - a hell of a lot of heather - with great conifers in the back

Thanks Paul that's very kind of you :-) i thought of you when i saw the gunnera :-) that heather goes on for ever it seems lol

yes certainly does :DD I can't wait for the gunnera now - well guess I have to wait though lol

Lol yes there's no hurrying that one :-)))
Thanks very much Hb, that dappled shot drove my girls mad it took me about 5 mins to get it right :-))

Lovely blog SL, particularly liked the second pic - the magnolia flowers - wonderful

I really enjoyed reading your blog and looking at the lovely pictures Surreylad. We have had a grey and rainy day here today, but then we need the rain badly, it has rained for 2 days now:)))

Great blog Surreylad, really lovely photos especially like the last look back one.

Lovely blog SL...your girls are beautiful. Pleased you all had a great day.
Those pictures are gorgeous, particularly the last one - I love those conifers :)

What a fabulous place, beautiful photos! Your girls are lovely.
I was at Cliveden, Buckinghamshire, we didn't have such lovely blue skies as you.

Hi, Surreylad, where are these valley gardens, please? One can feel some attachment you have to this place, all those photos are very nice. Most of all I like cedar trees and that forest-church is amazing. I am really impressed that you already have rhododendrons blooming, as their season starts here in a month or two.
Thank you for his nice trip SL. You have charming two little roses :)

Thanks for all the kind replies :-)
Sheilar those flowers were huge a good 6-8 inches across :-)
Michaella we nearly had the lot here, but mainly sun thanks.
thanks popedot
thanks Scottish that's the main path out not sure of the names though :-)
Thanks Sticki :-) Cliveden not been there but it sounds a fabulous place...
Thanks Katarina they are in Windsor Great Park Surrey, i was born, baptised and married in the Royal Chapel, i'n very attached to it, i love cedars to, it's been so mild here...

Very near windsor SL.

It looks an interesting place to visit, for kids and addults. Glad you all enjoyed :o)

yes very near Sticki :-) i moved though, which i regret sometimes, just outside now a little town called Egham..
Thanks Hywel :-)

I have been at the Windsor castle once, SL. Long time ago. I like its park. So your father was the gardener there?

yes he was the head propagator of the park and we lived in a house on smiths lawn. funny but i've only been to windsor castle once and that was as a long time ago :-)

What does it mean, that he was the head propagator of the park?

the plants are a lot more forward than they are at cliveden!

Great photographs of a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing those.

That does look a lovely place to visit, thankyou for sharing your pics...

he was in charge of all the greenhouses and temperate houses there, he taught students horticulture and had to deal with all the special/rare plants,,
Sticki it's been incredibly dry and mild down here...
Thanks Cinderella :-)
Thanks Lincslass :-)

Is he still alive, Surreylad? Send him all my best wishes.

He passed away in 2006 he never got over my mum's death 3 years previous , Thanks for your wishes though :-)
