Gardening Page

With the spring calling we have been irresistibly drawn out to the garden, or more specifically, other peoples gardens and nurseries.

This little group of photographs are from a trip we did recently to the Valley Gardens, part of the Royal Gardens Windsor but open to the public.

Huge Magnolias and Camellias were coming in to flower alongside drifts of Daffodils and other spring flowering plants.

As a lad, I spent some time working in this park and although much of my time was wasted endlessly raking leaves and piling them on the beds, I did experience much that I hold dear to me to this day.

Now is a great time to visit and if you hurry, the main car park on the A30 is being renovated and there are no charges. Now that's what I call a bargain: world class gardens there for the taking!
