Galleries
A collection of photgraphs taken by our Curator reflecting the variety and colour on offer in the Walled Garden.
To see the glorious variation in colour at the moment at Marks Hall click through to the gallery, it just keeps getting better!
Sometimes it is an inevitable consequence that to achieve a goal you have to make a bit of a mess. The old saying about breaking eggs to make an omelette is very true here at the moment as we clear silt from the section of Robin’s Brook below the first lake. It is essential that we complete this before the hard path is built as we would ruin the path if we were to do it later.
All in all rather a mess but in a good cause…..
On Wednesday 17th October we held a very special tree planting. Professor Stephen Hopper, the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew planted the first in a grove of Wollemi Pines, which is to become the largest planting in the United Kingdom of this rare and endangered tree.
This lovely little piece of woodland is the home of our snowdrop carpet. It is made up of only three different varieties. Although there are some single snowdrops and a small group of galanthus Elwesii by far the largest contingent here are double snowdrops (galanthus Nivalis ‘Flore Pleno’).
This years Service of Remembrance to mark the 62nd Anniversary of the Rhine crossing.
