Those of you who have visited Jane and Michael's garden will remember that there is a wild life area at the approach with a pond which was being enjoyed by dragonflies when we arrived. We then arrived at the house and the very striking front border which was looking very colourful. The delphiniums were reaching up to the sky and the surrounding perennials, campanulas, achilleas, etc, were very colourful.
We then headed for the thyme walk which is very pretty and again brimming with insect activity.
In the second picture you can just see a tiling decoration which Michael had constructed in the winter.
The itea alternifolia which I had so admired on our visit last year was looking very healthy with its elegant long tassels.
Jane showed us some of the wild flowers she has been planting along the side of the entrance pathway.
The Nepeta was also attracting insects
Michael's hedge is well known and it was looking healthy, well trimmed and quirky; the swimming pool had apparently been in use that morning
We then walked through the fruit and vegetable garden and around the meadow taking the time to appreciate the quiet.
Many thanks to Jane & Michael. I know it was appreciated by the many members who visited.
Best wishes
Rosemary
