Norwich Garden Visits - 24th July 2010

Written by Super User. Posted in Events Past

Our morning visit was to a garden in Old Lakenham.  This is a beautiful private garden showing the knowledge and interest of the owner and cared for by one of our members, Mike Newstead.  It is very inviting as soon as one enters the gate.  The garden runs down to the River Yare and incorporates well-established and interesting planting.  There is a serious water feature!

Roses at David Austin - Shropshire Trip July 3-5 2010

Written by Max Bone. Posted in Events Past

 At David Austin's Nursery we were fortunate to see the roses at their best. They were all in bloom on a fine day in a dry summer that meant they were all free from black spot. The pergolas and circular walled garden of the display area providede a setting that made all the blooms, but for a dull Chinese green flowered one (Rosa x odorata 'Viridiflora') look desirable.
