Gardens, galleries and walking around

On a recent visit to Portishead, I was struck yet again by the fantastic tubs, hanging baskets and planters in absolutely fantastic condition despite the high temperatures and drought. I thought I'd look up Portishead in Bloom , and have a look at their track record, if you click on the link you can see it's pretty amazing, and they have succeeded in making the town look well cared for and beautiful. They are part of a South West in Bloom group affiliated to the RHS Britain in Bloom I think. It's not as clear as one might think, Swindon has entered Britain in Bloom in various categories, including community gardening, and I think we'll be judged next year, by which time, the Old Town Residents' Association community gardens probably need a Facebook page. Back to Portishead, here are a few photos I took from the Waitrose petrol station: Above the large planter is fantastic, and below a hanging basket on railings is clearly following the same colour theme ...

#SixOnSaturday: pleased with new trellis

When I moved to this garden 11 years ago, there was a 1 metre high trellis half way down the garden, with a rose covered archway in the middle. I like the idea of splitting the garden into two parts; what has happened is that I've got rid of most of the grass in the rear part of the garden, I imagine it's now a riot of plants with a pond and a greenhouse, at least that's the idea. In practice a metre high trellis may be quite good as a fence, but it's useless to grow anything up because it's too low, and although it felt a bit daring, I wanted a 2 metre trellis installed. This week, thanks to neighbour Mark, who's brilliant at these things, I now have a high trellis which of course features as one of my six. I'm starting with this hellebore which looked so beautiful in the morning sun: There was a time when I thought hellebores looked understated and wasn't keen on them, that's changed now, I think they're fabulous. The second of my six is a po...

Mountain Biking in Croft Woods

Croft Woods is one of the glorious wooded open spaces very close to Old Town, not to be confused with Great Copse, the ancient woodland near Croft Sports centre. The recent interest I have in Croft Woods is due to the South Swindon Parish Green Corridor Walk going through there between the Coate Water section and Wichelstowe. It's important to keep the walkers through the woods separate from the Croft Trail , a biking route with a huge selection of tracks through the woods. Councillor Jane Milner-Barry and I met with Justin Wilkinson, trail manager and Steffan James , chair of the mountain biking club recently, and were taken round some of the tracks which they have built and maintain. The first photo is of part of a challenging bit of track, with twists and turns. I thought I'd start with this one because it was very impressive, and not to be ridden unless you are a confident rider. The rest of the tracks on the Croft Trail are covered in gravel, so if you're walking on a ...
