Today I am joining Sandie at Itchifingers with her meme 5 in 5. The idea is that on the 5th of each month you take your camera and take photos for 5 minutes and then choose 5 of them. This month I took mine at a local garden called The Newt near Bruton in Somerset.
We are just taking baby steps back into the outside world so going out for the afternoon was a big deal. We went just for the afternoon and equipped ourselves with a flask of tea and cakes. The weather was slightly drizzly so we thought there was a good chance that our chosen location wouldn’t be too busy. Our niece had been the week before and assured us that there was plenty of open space and most importantly that there were adequate clean toilets.
The Newt is a relatively new garden that has a massive amount of work done to it. I shall be showing quite a lot over the next few days. Today however here are my five taken near and in the Cottage Garden.
1. Looking from the Victorian Fragrance Garden down the cascade.

3. The traditional cottage in the middle of The Cottage garden.
4. A close up look.
6. Red hot pokers give a spectacular show in the Cottage Garden.
Beautiful! I'll look forward to seeing more. You have so many wonderful places to visit!
ReplyDeleteHow fun was that to go exploring again. I like the little cottage.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos. I love gardens with different levels, and I would love to spend some time in that little cottage - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden, and lovely photos. I know what you mean by venturing out tentatively. We went to Hyde Hall this week after it officially reopened and were aghast to see the car park bursting. Luckily it was well managed and we didn't have to queue for long as they have organised a booking only system and limited numbers staged through the day. Once inside it was busy but people mostly well spread in the vast grounds.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of the new garden that you visited, and look forward to seeing more photos. The Cottage is picture box pretty. Enjoy more visits to come and thank you for taking part in 5in5 and sharing your photos. It is always lovely to see your link Maggie.
That looks like such a tranquil place to visit, and your lovely photos give us some tantalising glimpses ... Walled gardens are one of my favourite things.
