Rodmarton Manor Rare Plant Fair

 The weekend before last, there was a Rare Plant Fair at Rodmarton Manor, it was well attended with some excellent nurseries and lots of buyers. Walking round the garden afterwards I was impressed by how beautifully kept the gardens were. They have always looked good, but this time, there seemed to have been extra care taken to get everything just right. I'll add the garden photos first and end with the wonderful circular lawn in front of the Manor.

I love the long borders leading up to the summerhouse, and below the planters either side of the steps

and the masses of troughs planted up with alpines

Also these irises looked fabulous

as did the Sambucus

and look at how wonderfully trained this honeysuckle was

and this white rose

A repeating plants long border near the greenhouses was looking good

and these delphiniums were looking perfect

and this hawkweed was looking orange, as it does

and finally a view of the plant sale on the lawn, classic arrangement.
