I love this little cottage garden.
It's in the show gardens at Bridgemere Garden World, near Nantwich in Cheshire.
Just a small garden but it's packed with gorgeous cottage garden plants.
In all the colours I love to see in a garden
Beautiful climbing roses
This colour was lovely and so hard to capture with a camera.
There were lupins in all colours
Mauves and pinks and purples all blending together
Lovely pink roses, I've no idea what variety they were.
Foxgloves
More lupins
These purple lupins looked wonderful against the white fence.
Everything in the garden was a feast for the eyes and senses. I've downloaded these photos today to look at and enjoy as it is so damp, grey and windy outside and not like a June day at all. Let's hope the weather improves soon so we can get back out into our own garden and hang washing out on the line to dry in the sunshine.
My favourite colours too. Such an unusual colour for the iris and the lupins are glorious. Slightly grey and gloomy here too although not cold thank goodness. B x
ReplyDeleteThe colours are wonderful aren't they? Just the kind of garden I'd love to have, small and full of colour:)
DeleteOhhhh, there is nothing so charming, as a Cottage Garden... -happy sigh-
ReplyDeleteThe delightful abundance of growing things, in a "small" area. All happy, and living "cheek-to-jowl," and so in harmony, with each other.
Thank you for the pictures...
I love clumps of flowers all together with colours that complement each other and then perhaps one or two that shouldn't but somehow do:)
DeleteWhat a really beautiful cottage garden - it looks so pretty. Love the lupins, the foxgloves, the roses - in fact I love everything about it. You just can't beat cottage gardens :) I hope the weather improves for you soon - at least it is dry here today but quite cold.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely little garden I look for it each year, it has been there a few years now. Hung stuff out yesterday for the morning then rain came so fetched it in then out comes the sun again! April showers in June:)
DeleteWhat a pretty spot!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely:)
DeleteFoxgloves are my all time favourite.

They are lovely aren't they? I noticed some of the wild ones coming out yesterday:)
DeleteMy sort of garden........gorgeous! Chilly & wet here too, though we've not seen the sun since 25th May. My washing has been on the clothes horse inside & a line we have under the verandah & for somebody who loves to put it "outside", it's getting tiresome. We need the rain, so that has been good, but the gloominess has been very persistent, even one the dry days. Shouldn't complain as it could be worse. Thanks for sharing & take care.
ReplyDeleteI'd got used to not having the airer around and things drying on radiators and over the top of doors - I don't have a tumble dryer - and being able to dry outside but that seems to have disappeared at the moment which as you say is tiresome. Hope we can both hang washing out again soon:)
DeleteIt's just perfect with all those colourful cottage garden flowers I love so much. 😊
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect isn't it? I'd love a garden like that, small, full of colour and easy to manage:)
DeleteIt's beautiful, Lupins are my husbands favourite!
ReplyDeleteLupins are so majestic aren't they? We have a pot of pink ones which we try hard to keep slug and snail free as they seem to gravitate towards the lupins before any other plant:)
DeleteWhat a beautiful garden, it was a joy to visit your blog today and be inspired.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed visiting the garden, it is such a feast for the eyes:)
DeleteNow if I dream of a little cottage and a cottage garden it would be like this one. We're waiting for our lupins to get to the flower stage. The ones in your lovely photos are pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt is a dream garden isn't it? Our lupins have flowered and I've moved them out of the wind against the house as they were bent over in the breeze they are now upright and look healthy again:)
DeleteThis is just the sort of garden I would like for myself, absolutely gorgeous. Our weather is not especially garden-friendly, a long hot summer with no rain, but this is definitely the dream.

It is a dream garden and must take a lot of work to keep that way but weather and good soil does help. It is hard to keep those plants in a hot, dry cliamate:)
DeleteA fine example of a cottage garden - just as it should be. Have a lovely weekend Rosie. It is drizzle here at the moment. x
ReplyDeleteIt's chocolate box perfect at the moment isn't it? Rain, rain, thunder and rain here!!:)
DeleteJust gorgeous, and very cheering on a cold, wet weekend. x
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty isn't it and yes, very cheering on these grey, wet days:)
DeleteWhat a beautiful garden... I bet there are plenty of insects in there!
ReplyDeleteLots of bees buzzing but I didn't see many butterflies haven't seen many in our garden either:)
DeleteA delightful garden. Lupins seems to be excellent this year, ours are taller than ever.
ReplyDeleteYes, our lupins seem taller this year, as you say it must be a good year for them:)
