On Monday
I published part 1 of this two hander showing you the wonderful Sculpture
Exhibition when I visited Bangor Walled Garden in June. CLICK HERE if you missed it. It is well worth seeing. Grab a cup of
coffee, sit back and feast your eyes on the flamboyant flowers that I present to you totay.
OK,
I forgot to tell you we were also walking round the garden with some of my Nursing
friends so let’s go.
Myosotidium
Hortensia
Chatham
island
Forget-me-Not Chatham Islanda
The
more formal part of the garden and
which
is now in August a blaze of colour.
I
think this little guy is following me!
Can
you see the flower head on the left is enormous in comparison to the one on
the right.
This
is the vegetable
area and every Saturday they harvest the produce and sell it to the public. Everything is all organically grown.
These
are Apricots ready for picking in the greenhouse.
No,Don't touch!
I hope you enjoyed seeing the many different flowers. I did take more close ups, however I think I have given you enough photographs today to be on going on with for a while.
Before I leave you today, I have to show you one last image. It is of my cousin who was 100 years old on 6 August. Gladys Douglas. She lives in Port Arthur, Canada. That is her nephew David and his grandson Jasonwith her .
Thanks for visiting and also to those who leave coments.
So much work but it is an impressive garden. I used to visit Bangor many years ago and never saw the garden.
