Barnsdale Gardens are situated in the county of Rutland, Britain's smallest county. They are made up of a series of 39 individual gardens in an 8 acre site. They were used for the filming of Gardeners World, when Geoff Hamilton used to present the series. July is a lovely time to visit when many of the gardens are full of bloom and looking colourful. Here are just a few of the highlights we saw during our visit.
 |
| The Lands' End Garden. A vivid beach hut, gravel and vibrant crocosia in bloom, representing the seaside. |
 |
| Daisies making a cool display of colour. |
 |
| Terracotta pots and geraniums in the greenhouse - always a favourite! |
 |
| Sit down and relax for a while! |
 |
| Astilbes in a shady, cool pond area. |
 |
| Flowering hosta in the hosta beds. |
 |
| Beautiful lily opening out in the formal pool and knot garden. Can you see the tiny hoverfly? |
 |
| Unusual little statue statue in the lily pool - trickling with water and weed. |
 |
| Beautiful honeysuckle weaving over a trellised walkway. |
 |
| Raindrops on the lily! |
 |
| The entrance to the Artisan's Cottage garden, my favourite garden! |
 |
| There is always something about a terracotta pot in my eyes... |
 |
| Quiet little reading area enclosed in roses. |
 |
| Now I would love a water butt like this one! |
 |
| Fragrant lilies and delphiniums giving some vivid colour in the borders. |
