Views around the Grounds and Walled Garden - 15/06/2011

It is hard to believe that we are approaching the longest day.Yesterday's sun did not appear as much today, slightly overcast but still warm. Day was spent in front of House entrance weeding the gravelled area and edging the grass on East Lawn.


Large number of visitors in property today, including a school party, buses and even some from America and Australia. 


The recent warm weather has made the grounds and gardens greener still and the summer flowers are starting to appear in the Walled Garden. 

As usual at this time of year both gardeners and volunteers are busy clearing out the borders, weeding  and replanting to maintain the colour around the property.


Took the following photographs early this morning on way to Walled Garden:
