I've written about this garden a few times over the years so apologies if I am repeating myself. It's a lovely place and a firm favourite. We just visited the garden this time. By the time we'd had lunch - soup and a roll as it was quite a cool day - the rain had stopped. The garden looked wonderfully green with a strong earthy aroma in the air and mist still hung over the mountains in the distance. As we walked the sun was filtering through the clouds.

Plas Brondanw was the home of architect Clough Williams-Ellis best known for his Italianate village of Portmeirion which is just a few miles away.
I'll let the photos show you what it is like - small but beautiful and completely at home in its wilder surroundings.
I'm usually happier with flowers in softer colours - pinks, whites and lavenders - but I'm really liking the combination of the orange and blue. I've seen it in a few places recently.

Such a beautiful place and so atmospheric with the grey skies and verdant green. I think the garden was mentioned a while back, not sure if it was gardeners world. Will have to revisit the area one day. B x
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful garden, one of my favourite places to revisit when we are in the area, It was one of the gardens visited by Monty Don in his British gardens series, along with Wollerton Old Hall which we visited a few weeks ago and nearby Biddulph Grange - all in the same programme:)
DeleteWow, another lovely outing. I've been to Portmeirion and thought that was intriguing, but his home must have been amazing too. Thanks for sharing, take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place. I do like Portmeirion but we didn't visit this time around, we could have done with an extra day there. Glad you enjoyed the photos:)
DeleteIt looks a very peaceful place, lush and serene within the beautiful countryside. A great trip. 😊
ReplyDeleteIt was very peaceful and the views were amazing:)
DeleteSuper photos of a really lovely garden that looks peaceful and quiet. We have visited just once - I probably got the idea from your blog! It has so many quirky features :)
ReplyDeleteI remember you visiting, I like the way the garden is in small sections with something different around each corner also the views are wonderful:)
DeleteThe house and the windows and the aqua metalwork all beautiful to look at. What an amazing place to visit Rosie :)
ReplyDeleteThat colour metal work is lovely and can be seen through the surrounding village too, it goes so well with the grey stone of the buildings:)
DeleteI love that wonderful earthy, fresh smell of a garden just after it has rained. I haven't visited this place but it looks like a real treasure. Thank you for sharing your photos of Plas Brondanw.
ReplyDeleteIt was glorious that early afternoon and the sun came out as we walked around. It's a small but lovely garden to visit:)
DeleteI could ve very happy there. How lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful place, garden, house and mountains in the background:)
