When we arrived at Rosemoor there was a local Plantmans group sale on, wasn't that a shame, all those plants just needing a home to go to, pity I was limited by being on holiday. Two clematis and a few rock plants later, well I still had to carry them around the garden.
We were told when we arrived that Lady Anne's garden was closed to the public because of the Foot & Mouth crisis so I was a bit disappointed that I was not going to see the parts I had seen on a programme on TV a few months before.

The Model Gardens. They look good now in early April, I would love to see these later in the year when the plants have softened the edges of the paving and the trees are in full leaf. |
|
The Cottage Garden looks full now, I wonder how crowded it looks at the height of summer, there was a honeysuckle in flower by the cottage door whose scent was wafting across this garden. |

Looking up towards the Rock Gully that leads to Lady Anne's garden. This is the feature that was being constructed on the TV program I mentioned at the top of the page. |
|
Looking down towards the bog garden and lake. As you can see it was a very grey day in Devon and drizzling on and off. This looks like a good place to play Pooh Sticks. |

The beds in the Winter Garden were filled with hellebores, mahonias, camellias etc. which led to a covered seating area where you could sit and watch the world go by. |

And after you have rested, you turn the corner and..... Isn't it beautiful! Well now I know why the rhododendrons are not in flower, they are waiting for the spring to arrive. |
