Thomas Broom, Rosie Bines and Amanda Brame of Petersham Nurseries, who have created this wild Eden, a distillation of Petersham Nurseries for the Grow London Garden Fair on Hampstead Heath, open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. .... as the marquee empties and lights are switched off, the garden waits for the first visitors tomorrow.

Voila! All my photos from the show in one gallery - I've had a lovely day but with several hours travel up and down the M40 and sat sitting on the M25... well here are my pictures and I'm going out for some dinner now..... There is, I grant, a little sorting through, grouping, annotating…

Parcevall Hall, a Yorkshire Gem explored in July 2013 and just passed by on our New Year's Eve walk, bringing a close to 2014... Having reviewed all of my garden visits this past year in month-by-month galleries, it is clear that I have a few miles to put in throughout 2015. It has been wonderful…
A walk from Grimwith Reservoir towards Skyreholme, past the delightful (but closed) house and gardens at Parceval Hall and over the snowy moors. Parceval Hall is well worth the effort, an Arts and Craft star in a very unexpected setting.
