Gardens visit: Sheffield Park

We visited Sheffield Park, near Uckfield, today and, for once, I took my camera.

We endured a bit of rain but the sun came out eventually.

Anyway, here are some photos that, for once, are not taken on my phone...

Garden visit: High Beeches

High Beeches Gardens, near Handcross, West Sussex, are looking amazing at the moment. This is definitely the best time to see them.

Garden visit: Nymans

We took a walk around Nymans today.
It was a crisp, cold day and I saw the garden as I had never seen it before.
The perennial borders had all been ripped out ahead of a redesign and the ground was white and frozen.
I took these snaps on my phone.

Garden visit: Petworth House

We paid a long overdue visit to Petworth House today, although calling it a garden visit is stretching the truth somewhat.
The house and the grounds are stunning but I was surprised to find such a grand estate with no formal garden to speak of.
Nonetheless, we saw beautiful trees, vistas and deer, not to mention an exceptional art collection, including Turner, Blake, Bosch and Titian.
