An enchanting garden.



Probably you did not notice that I have not been working in my garden last week. The reason for my absence was that I have been visiting nine gardens in Great Britain.

I am still musing about the gardens I have seen. Gardens in all sizes and shapes. Of course it is impossible to review nine gardens in one post. Instead I will show you the pictures of the garden that has surprised me the most. This was Abbotsbury botanical garden at the South coast of Great Britain.

Walking through this garden I immediately felt an atmosphere of an old wood. Besides tall trees - some with an odd bark - there were large ferns and rhododendrons like monsters.

At the path I took there were no other visitors. It seemed I was all-alone in an enchanted garden.

Surrounded by nature, and plants and trees I have never seen before. It made me feel very small but at the same time very happy.

An enchanting paradise.

  3. British gardens are really worth a trip (or many!).
    Strange to be alone in such a magic place. Some of the gardens can be rather crowded, and makes it difficult to take pictures. I "collect" places of interest to go...
