Before I start my main post today, I would like to
thank all those people who listened to the programme I was a guest on the previous Sunday 2 August . If you missed it, you can still listen
to it. The programme is called
“Time of our Lives”.
“Time of our Lives”.
You find it on IPlayer BBC Radio Ulster

I visited Bangor Walled Garden with my Nursing friends in June and there are 2 parts to this post. The second one will be published this Wednesday. We had a wonderful surprise as the garden was hosting a Sculpture Exhibition which they had incorporated very tastefully into the garden setting and that is what I will share with you today.

into this wonderful garden and these are some of my Nursing friends below. We have a reunion three times a year and I organise the different places we go and visit.

As
we walk through the second walled garden where there is a cafe, below I will show you
a few plants from the garden but there will be glorious colour for you from
this splendid garden on Wednesday.
I
hope you enjoyed seeing the many sculptures in the walled Garden.
Thanks
for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
I always enjoy sculpture and particularly out of doors.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't understand the Fibonacci flowers. I would have expected them to form a cone or golden spiral.
The March Hares are brilliant.
What a glorious exhibition. Something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI could have spent hours there.
Thank you.
altogether a good posting Margaret! some of the works very original...some....let's leave it at that!!
ReplyDeleteI love to see sculptures within a garden setting. Some suit that garden very well whereas others possibly should be exhibited elsewhere. (That hare was magnificent).
