WI Garden Visit

Last week our WI meeting was at a glorious garden in a nearby hamlet. Most of my WI ladies have known our hosts for many years.

The house and gardens are truly picturesque

After a warm welcome from hosts T and L, T gave us a tour of their beautiful gardens. I had visited a few years ago when it was open to the public, but I never tire of visiting delightful gardens.

A well stocked Koi fish pond. At feeding time T taps his foot at the edge of the pond and the fish appear for their food!

Lovely Alpine House

A quiet corner

Fruit and veg

These lovely ladies have a very nice home. Each girl usually lays one egg a day.

Immaculately organised shed to the left, leading to T's mancave,
in the middle is a cabin where they hold their wine evenings!

T's mancave, it has a wall mounted TV on the wall to the left.

Our lovely afternoon ended with tea and delicious cakes - 
banana and chocolate and peanut flapjacks 😋

  3. An amazing garden. It must take hours of work to keep something as immaculate as that - I've never even succeeded in keeping myself tidy for more than a few minutes!

    1. They do it all themselves, everywhere is immaculate, I didn't see any weeds. Most of the shrubs are fully mature so don't need much maintenance.

  4. What a lovely garden. But it must take quite a bit of maintenance. What fruit and veg do they grow?

    1. It does Nick, they said they feel guilty if they have a day off! Although most of the shrubs are mature and don't need much maintenance. They have apple and cherry trees, and others I think, and blueberries. potatoes, beans, beetroot, aparagus and salads.

    1. It is, and not only do they not have any help, T helps out with other gardens in the hamlet!
