MALVERN PART 2 PLUS STROLLERS GARDEN AND SCULPTURES

Lovely blog - some wonderful plants there

What an interesting blog BA. We passed each other many times, especially in the Floral marquee and yet we seemed to have noticed entirely different stands! - How odd. Its lovely to look through your photos and see the plants you admired and some you bought. The added bonus of seeing Strollers gorgeous garden just finishes it off a treat! I was wondering what had happened to Enoch and now I know! btw Im getting hooked on geums too.

Thankyou so much Ba....well all of the smashing 6 its been really lovely seeing the show through your eyes....each focusing on their particular passion...
And Stroller at first I thought Ba had got it wrong and it was more show gardens......worth a gold!

Lovely, really enjoyed your blog. And Strollers garden - well hasnt she done well, it looks fab.

Lovely blog BA, I didnt even see you taking pics!
You got some really good parts of the show, well done you.
Strollers garden is amazing, we should of all just gone there but she would be mad to let us all go there together, Lol.

The Mavern Show looks amazing Im dazzled with all the colour, beautiful displays I particulary liked TRhe gorgeous Poppies. The visit to Strollers garden was so enjoyable its just so pretty and so many ineresting features what a clever Lady and the wood work her husband produces is just amazing . Thanks for the Visits ;0))

I love those blue poppies. I've bought one this year.
Stroller's garden is very pretty and interesting .... and those wood sculptures are wonderful !

I get that on some emails but am usually able to 'show photos' what happens if you right click? (probably nothing.....bu maybe worth a try)

Another really good blog and the pics are grand, seeing Stollers lovely garden is a bonus and gosh her OH must have so much patience to create those amazing pieces and also very clever...

Some lovely pics,Ba..I'm glad you managed to buy some nice plants too..and Strollers garden is amazing,as are her OH's sculptures...I love that second pink garden..so pretty...:o)

I love the different colour themed gardens and each in their own way are so effective and successful.

It must have taken ages to put this together - thank you.

What a lovely day! Malvern Show AND a private viewing! Fantastic sculptures! I do love 'beautified nature' in this way - wonderful! What a talent! Who would have thought that old gent sitting on the bench was capable of such intricate work. ;o)

Thanks Sheila:-)

Poppy, we didn't get to see all the stuff you saw, so how many pics did you take? Where is your blog? I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I don't think Willi has put one on yet either...we're very industrious in the Midlands lol. So glad you're a geum convert now:-)

Hi Pam\0/ When I was uploading, I thought Strollers was one of the show gardens too. We didn't get there 'til late, about half one, traffic horrendous, so extended the show at Strollers:-)

Thanks Lincslass, it was a lovely day:-)

Yoohoo Bloomer\0/ you could have come, it wouldn't have cost you much more than one of those nasty holidays you keep going on.....selfish that's what you are:-)

Thanks Wildrose, both Malvern blogs together probably took a day! Labour of love:-)

I don't know what happened I appear to have jumped over people? Cinders, Strollers garden was a treat:-)

Hi Willi, we're all invited to Strollers next week...don't tell her though:-)

Hi Carole, so glad you enjoyed it:-)

Hywell the poppies were amazing, in colours I'd never seen before. Looking forward to seeing yours:-)

Thanks Nariz, looks can be deceptive can't they lol:-)

What a lovely day out you all had! :)
Strollers garden is so beautiful too and love her OH's wood sculptures! All great! :))

Hi Pixi, why didn't you come?...the drive would have been worth it:-)

Aw maybe next time! Its a long way! lol But you jsut never know....

Very selfish of me ,Ba..I agree..you might have taken my fork,or worse still,my cake...met your kind before ..:o)

Yes I would have, both:-)

..and my chair as well,no doubt ! :o)

Of course:-)

Ha ha,Ba..you win,I can't top that :o)

How kind and generous you`ve been about the garden and OH`s wood pieces. Watched GWorld and realised just how much we had missed, still we had a fabulous time, hope to meet up again very soon.

Stroller, it was a pleasure:-)

What a lovely part 2, Ba. I enjoyed the show pics, and an extra treat to see Stroller's beautiful garden. Thank you...xx

You're welcome Spritz, thanks. That nicotiana looked fantastic and I know what it was now, it was mutabalis which I think is easy from seeds...so I'm having some next year:-)

Yes, my friend grows them every year. :-)

Great blog Ba :-) I adore those wood sculptures ,well done Mr Stroller and what a super garden Stroller !!
Can anyone tell me the name of the plants underneath the purple cordyline in the malvern pics ...the pink with purple collars surrounding it .I think I'm in love ! Just taken a closer look ...french lavender ...wont grow in my borders :-(

Yes it is french lavender, why won't it grow in your borders? You can grow it in a pot too. Are your borders poorly draining?:-)

My borders are very wet and I've tried ordinary lavender again and again with no luck so the french lavender wouldn't stand a chance Ba and it was for my border I wanted it ...the only thing I do in pots are herbs :-))

I have a similar problem on my front (garden) I wanted roses and lavender, unfortunately it doesn'r seem to drain too well in parts. I'm thinking of using some sort of edging and raising them a few inches incorporating grit. So far thinking is all I've done lol:-)

How did I miss this one, thanks BA most interesting great tour of the Malvern show. and a lovely visit to Strollers garden.

Thanks Dd, I miss so much on here now, unfortunately other things get in the way lol and it's impossible to catch up isn't it:-)

It is, so many new members on now, cannot keep up, and I never will, so just going to stick with people that I know now.....
