I realized today that I haven't yet posted photos from our visit to Sissinghurt Garden in Kent this past summer. It was a lovely afternoon, and I recommend the place to anyone with an interest in gardening or just with an eye for beauty and little details, from color combinations like pinkish-yellowish poppies with purple verbena, to the different leaf shapes and textures such as ferny matte leaves with glossy green ones with delicate pale lavender flowers drooping gracefully around them both. I could have wandered happily for hours! and I certainly had enough photos that I couldn't bear to leave out any more, and there is enough for two posts ...
(The second post is here.)
"Fortunate gardener, who may preoccupy himself solely with beauty in these difficult and ugly days! He is one of the few people left in this distressful world to carry on the tradition of elegance and charm."
-- V. Sackville-West (source unknown)
I think that I would like it there, too.
