Each summer I join Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards with her Summertime Photo Scavenger Hunt which you can find the details of here. Mary-Lou has chosen carefully to reflect that we cannot necessarily go far from home.
No. 3 is Something with the colour of your country’s flag. We have not been out much but as I mentioned yesterday we did visit some gardens called The Newt on a very quiet day. There are a series of gardens called the Colour Gardens which are ideal for this prompt.
The three gardens are red, blue and white to reflect the colours of the British flag. It also says that these same colours cover several other national flags too.
The windows and doors in the fencing give the visitor the chance to view through to each of the other gardens.
The red was particularly vibrant.
We had a social distance chat with the gardener who explained that the white garden has to be continually trimmed to keep the silver and white colours removing for example dead allium heads as they go yellow and ornamental thistle tops.

Finally a little bit of the blue room.
Love the third one! Beautiful positioning of the red inside the "egg".
ReplyDeleteOh I love those oval windows - aren't they clever? Great choices of photos to cover the 'colours of your flag' prompt!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your "looking through" photos. How lovely that you got to visit this garden. Is that fencing not referred to as "wattle" anyway it's quite impressive.
