Views around the Grounds and Walled Garden - 26/10/11

With some heavy rain through the night, I thought we would be in for a wet day in the garden at Wallington. It was not to be and worked all day in some brilliant sunshine. Our task for today was to clear out some plants that were past their best and weed the Hot Border beside the Edwardian Conservatory.

There were more visitors today than in previous weeks and the garden again was filled with children's voices, of course it was half term holiday.

The grounds and Walled Garden are now showing its Autumn colours and leaves are falling heavily. We know what our jobs will be shortly!!!!

I took the following photographs as soon as got to the property early this morning:
