Gardens of England Tour -
September 2005

Cottage in the Cotswold – This makes you want to surround your garden with rock walls.

Kathy standing on the island lawn at Kiftsgate Manor. The Lord of the manor told us this was once a tennis court - but his wife wanted a change – with something modern for the estate garden.

Elizabeth and I at a Bath Park. Purple Asters were blooming all over England.

Thatched roof pubs, cottages and country Inns still dot the English countryside.

Part of our group entering another gardening world under an archway of wisteria.

Debbie and Alan at Stonehenge. What a back-drop !!

Great bid gobs of Gunnera were found at Great Dixter.

A pub lunch at ‘The Spotted Dog”.

The dinning room at Oxford University was the inspiration for the Harry Potter school scenes.

Alan showing how huge the stones were at Avebury Circle. Older than Stonehenge and even more interesting.
