St. Michael's Hospice Open Gardens

















A great way to visit beautiful gardens not normally open to the public, partake of sumptuous cream teas or an aL fresco ploughman's lunch, make new friends and most importantly support the terrific work of the St Michael's Hospice.

I recently spent a lovely afternoon visiting the Open Gardens of Rye. The pictures above are a selection I took on the day. Lovely gardens with lots of great ideas to take home. For more information and a list of gardens and dates click on the link, Open Gardens.


Open Garden days run from May through July


Enjoy!!!


Summer Container Number Three

Foliage and Texture



This container suits a contemporary or traditional setting. The bold foliage of the Phormium 'Maori Queen' and Euchevera provide interest and texture for a low maintenance high impact display.




Hardy in mild climates this container can be brought into the greenhouse for the winter
