I don't think the search works very well as earlier this year I searched for a garden gallery thread, couldn't find one for this year so I started one and someone else had already started one. @NoraGW put my thread onto it.

Hi BL this is just a normal post your general visits thread, Nora put your posts earlier in the year into this one. perhaps Nora will work her magic and combine them into one again.
I went to Floors castle in Kelso this week, for the first time in a couple of years. No pics sorry, but plenty online. Although it’s local, and it is amazing, I didn’t go regularly as I thought it would be quite static, y’know? Just upkeeping what’s there and not changing. I couldn’t have been more wrong, and there is a huge difference in 2 years, and it’s looking absolutely superb. We are falling over lovely gardens in the Scottish Borders, but Floors really is special. Worth a planned visit for you guys further a field.
As well as what was already displaying the gardens were bursting with potential - lots of lush growth and buds everywhere. Luckily for me Sissinghurst is only about 30 mins away.
Gosh, I'm really surprised by Sissinghurst in those photos. We went to Sissinghurst in April a few years ago in April and it was mostly bare earth, not a tulip or wallflower in sight. Also the buildings were closed for re-decoration. Was fed up as they charged the full amount for the visit.

Or is this thread for organising garden visits by GW forum members?
