Well, I finally made it! After all these long years of waiting, my hubby
and I were able to take a nice eleven day trip to the UK in June.
It was
wonderful in so many ways, but, certainly, the gardens rose to the top
for me. Walking first into Barnsley was like walking into my own dream,
though in many ways it is a very real and imperfect garden.
The same was
true of Hidcote, Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. The latter, however, is
the garden out of the old favorites that glows even more brightly
precisely because of its imperfection.

Two favorite new gardens were the David Austin Rose garden at their nursery in Shropshire, and Wollerton Old Hall in Market Drayton.

I'll be digesting more of our garden visits for a while on my
Instagram at WMGardener.
Thanks for reading!
Hope you are having a lovely gardening season,
Julie
