Favourite Gardens from R.H.S. Hampton Court Show

July 10, 2020 By Jill Anderson Leave a Comment

Following on from yesterdays post about past Hampton Court Garden Shows, here’s more of the glorious show gardens from recent years.

In no particular order, but starting with The Summer Retreat Garden, designed by Amanda Waring and Laura Ariston. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, it featured this lovely summer-house.

I remember the planting was beautiful.

Going back to 2011, this is The Stone Roses Garden. It’s interesting to see the black backdrop back then and how it’s still a popular colour.

Finally this is the City Twitchers garden from 2015. It had a nice cool green and white colour theme and I loved all the willow.

Covid 19 has had a great effect on all our lives. Looking through my photos of gardens confirms the healing power of green spaces and how good it is to connect with nature.

Keep well.

These wonderful autumn colours won’t be around for much longer. But that’s ok, because now is what matters, & their fleeting beauty makes them even more precious.
It’s easy to see how being among trees & nature is so beneficial for our health & wellbeing. 
Have a great Sunday.

Today has been hard work, after a lovely time last week in Norfolk. The north coast there is spectacular. Realising these last few months, that there are so many beautiful places here. 
Have a nice evening.

Such a treat, worth coming to Norfolk for this alone!
Hope you’re keeping well, & managing to smile some of the time. x

One little advantage of lockdown is walking so much more, rather than using the car. Though it shouldn’t have taken something as momentous as this, for me to change bad habits 🙁
Hope you’re weekend is going well.

Great for small space gardening, imagine how much room you need to grow these without vertical supports.

I’ve got 2 Uchiki kuri, lovely nutty flavour.
1 Turks turban, for its flamboyant shape & colours, though it also tastes good.
One unknown, grown by my grandsons in their homeschooled science lesson.

It gets sun for about 4 hours only, you can order the bulbs now for planting in September. It’ll reappear every year & waft delicious scent around your garden, or through your windows.

Hope is a decision I’ve thought long & hard abou Hope is a decision
I’ve thought long & hard about how to view the tumult in the world we’re living in now. 
The only thing that works for me, is to choose hope.

It’s a tall order, but avoiding mainstream news & speculation helps avoid the anxiety, that’s often waiting in the wings.

One day soon there’ll be grandchildren clambering over this again.
