Matty - those pictures look like paintings - especially the first and third. those impressionists could certainly capture the essence of a place.
here are some from a visit to Beth Chattos mid October. The grasses and some of the borders still looked great, but it has whetted my appetite to go back in summer next year, to see it in full fettle.
Beautiful gardens. Matty I can see why Monet chose to paint his garden so much - the light is gorgeous. Didn't Archiepem visit there this year?
I have a cornus at the bottom of the garden which is giving a lovely splash of colour chicky. I'll be asking questions about propagating next as it would be lovely to make a real statement at this time of year
Those thorns look really vicious artjak. Are you sure that pic is of bark - looks like an elephant's leg
I have visited many beautiful gardens in this my Golden Jubilee Year in my garden but the most unusual I think is the 16 Heritage Gardens at the entrance to Warwick Race Course. These have only been restored since 2006 though they date from 1830. They were rented or bought from a farmer by business people who needed their back yard for the horse and cart so had no outside space. Monty Don restored the first in 1995 but this one is not open to the public though you can peep in. Each has a brick and tile with a chimney and Victorian fireplace in their Grade2 listed summer houses. The head gardener and volunteers have done a great job. The restaurant is superb and the plants you can buy. all in Bread and Meat Lane and called Hill Close Gardens. Pictures I took.
They grow 68 heritage varieties of apples. You are invited to taste their fruit as you wander round straight off the tree!!!

Lovely photos, somehow I don't think the dog poo wormery will be in the same class!
I love the thorns
In the sticks near Peterborough
aren't they weird?

And we combined it with a visit to Hyde Hall - some great autumn colour there
That really was grasses planted en masse!
Loved this sunken garden
The red is the stems of cornus sibirica ....its gone on the list
Not normally a pampas fan, but loved this one
Beautiful gardens
