    And finally - a little Walled Garden I had somehow missed on previous visits, and which utterly stole my heart.

    @Chicky, I love your SA meadow photos, and the stipa too - you've captured them perfectly :smile:

    @AnniD, I bought a hardy maidenhead fern (Adiantum hispidulum) and a Dianthus 'Stargazer'. Oak-leaved hydrangeas are also very much on my list for purchase when I can find a space in which to put one!

    Thank you both for all the photos.  I still don't like the heather garden tho.  Never have.  Maybe it's better in winter or spring.

    Ditto, loved all the other bits, but I've never been a fan of heathers. Maybe because when I started in GCs in 1979 everyone was planting heathers/conifers?

    I have been to Barnsdale several times, it's almost like a pilgrimage. I could hear Geoff Hamilton's voice in my head quite a few times !
    Merriments garden in Sussex is another favourite.
