What's Behind the Walls?

Yesterday I started back to playing badminton again and as the Leisure centre is near the walled garden, I decided to go in and see the end of their summer flowers although I had only about 15 minutes before another appointment.  So for a change to my usually wordy post, I would like you to get a coffee and sit back for a few minutes to enjoy the wonderful coloured displays the gardeners have planted in this walled area.





 









































I loved this year that the Council planted a few beds of wildflowers not only in the Walled Garden but also in the middle of the town and I hope for next year, they will plant even more wild beds.

    Hi Lynn Yes it is lovely. I think they close it soon for the winter and open it againn the spring. perhaps next week when I goto badminton I will call in again if it is not raining. There really is so much to see and I only had 15 minutes that day. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind comments.

      Yes they are. there were also deep red ones that I didn't photograph and they were even more unusual. perhaps the garden will be open next Tuesday when I am going to badminton again and I may take some more photos. Glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for comments

    A riot of colour; beautiful.

    As much as I like the formal garden, I think the 'wild' area is excellent.

    HI Keith Yes I have to agree with you and I am very glad our council are planting more areas of wild flowers now and hopefully there will be even more next year.

    A beautiful garden with some lovely photos - love the fountain. There is something so special about a walled garden :)
    Good to see Councils planting wild flowers to attract pollinators too :)
