I hope you enjoyed my earlier post this week following my visit to Loseley Park garden last week.  Here are some more images from this wonderful garden…

The rose garden was in full bloom and of course the scent was amazing.

It’s been a good year for roses I think although the mild wet winter has meant that there are a lot of pests around.  At Loseley they try to deadhead once a week, a rather thankless task no doubt as there are so many roses, but essential for the overall look and feel of the garden for the visitors.

The White Garden is one of the most popular parts of the garden at Loseley and in the summer it is often used for weddings.  There is a semi-permanent marquee there for guests and of course the garden is perfect for photographs.

In summer the stars of this garden are the Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ which were just starting to emerge when we were there last week.

It’s my favourite hydrangea of them all.

Last year I visited Loseley a little later and The White Garden looked like this…

So in a week or so they’ll be looking just perfect.

The vegetable garden always looks great and it was full of fruit and veg.

They’ve opened up this area a bit too but the poppies have been left under the fruit trees bringing a burst of colour to an otherwise predominantly green space.

And we finished the tour of the garden along the top of the long water.

Loseley is a wonderful garden – well worth a detour if you’re over that way. For more details of the garden and visiting times, please refer to the Loseley Park Website.

Last week I attended a press event at Loseley Park.  As you know, I love the garden there…it has an informal and relaxed feel to it and it’s never the same each time you visit. Read more

Hasn’t it been fabulous to spend some time outside over the past week or so.  My garden this year has gone bonkers, I think because until now we’ve had quite a lot of rain.  But there’s lots in flower so I thought I’d share some pictures of the stars of the show at the moment. Read more

Yet again The Homebase garden was beautiful and I think will be popular with the viewing public as it’s probably the show garden that most feels as though it could be transported to your own garden. Read more

Over the course of the week I want to share my top pickings of this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Read more

On Tuesday I shared some images of RHS Garden Wisley, which is feeling very spring like now.  I took so many images of the spring flowers that I thought I’d share them with you in a separate blog post. Read more

It might seem a bit early to be talking about the Chelsea Flower Show, but the designers and exhibitors will by now be counting down the weeks and making sure everything’s in place ready for the build up.  By the time the show opens on 20th May, each garden will have been in the making for well over a year.

Lighting in the garden takes on various functions including lighting a pathway, improving security and creating a mood or aesthetic that enhances your garden at night. Read more

We’re not in the garden very much over the winter months, but it’s still really important that it looks great and has some interest.  I always think winter is the time when you really see the structure of a garden in all its glory because there’s nothing to distract you. Read more
