BANK HOLIDAY IN HAMPSHIRE NGS GARDEN...

Amazing the huge variety of plant life fitted into one and a half acres ! Thanks for sharing your visit with us.

What a stunning garden, really love that bark on the tree trunks.
How lovely to have sunshine too!

Hi Dotty ..
Wow.. that's a marvellous garden .. and good to see that Colin enjoyed the outing too ! :o)

Thats quite a large garden DD. Beautiful, and love the Acer, the red one. So nice to have a garden with all those trees.

It looks much bigger than that doesn't it! Beautiful and unique..I can see why you love it. That pond is gorgeous!

Looks a lovely place to visit...

Thanks Dotty . . . lovely to see such a stunning garden, and on a sunny day too!

What a beautiful garden! The eucs have got to be one of my favourite tree there. I love visiting small or large private gardens, more so than those on gigantic National Trust Estate types. The owners are usually very friendly and welcoming, and mingles with the visitors...I love that.

oh, lovely, it looks very restful. the tree in the 4th pic from the bottom - is that helical shape natural, or was it "induced", do you know?

Your beautiful pics do this garden great credit. It is truly stunning and the work that must go into it is hard to imagine.
What a lovely day out in such beautiful surroundings,

Fran I would say it had been induced, will ask next time we visit...
Michaella I do agree so much more friendly, I love the trees, they were so large it was difficult to photograph them....
Sheila sunny on a Bank holiday unheard of? they were very lucky. (and so were we).
Holly it was, we will no doubt be back !!
Karen it is so well designed, hard to convey in the photographs, there was a huge central lawn that had paths that led off in several directions,(like the spokes of a wheel) taking you to different vistas, and it was only a field 22 years ago!!
Cinders I never get tired of visiting this garden, something different to see each time we go..
TT thanks, Colin managed to leave a calling card in the first five mins, luckily we were well prepared!! and the owners had dogs, and had provided drinking water.
HB the circle of large plants were hardy bananas, they stay in the ground all year.
Sticki the trees are quite spectacular, especially when you stand under them...
Diane, and this was only part of the garden!! pleased you all enjoyed a visit to a country garden in Hampshire

Its a beautiful garden well thought out and cared for, I like it when you have to discover a gardens treasures, makes it so much more interesting, lovely photo's Dd, thankyou for sharing your visit with us...

DD - was that Meon Orchard?
