Flower Art in Sidmouth

During our visit to Sidmouth we took a walk around a couple of parks. Blackmore Park is the old grounds of a house that has been demolished. Like last year there are a couple of flower tableaux. This  'Nessie' who has roamed a long way from Scotland.


I rather like his face.


Then in the next part. A Wind in the Willows tableau. 


As well as toad there are other characters.


The others are hidden around the garden.



This donkey was also by the bowling green.


There is a tranquil conservatory with a Passion flower growing across the whole of the roof.


The whole of Sidmouth is an array of flowers and the Connaught Gardens that I mentioned yesterday are a mixture of formal and more casual planting. I took very few pictures of these mainly I think because I was too busy drinking tea and ice cream eating! 
I did however take one of the wildflower planting that was superbly colourful.

  1. Those are great garden tableaux, I do like Nessie's head and Toad. I believe there is a substantial Jane Austen related one in the Parade Gardens this year?
