The Bishops Palace Gardens, next to Chichester Cathedral, is a beautifully kept, tranquil garden bordered by the historic Roman city walls, and the Tudor wall. The perfect place to take a relaxing wander a few steps from the thriving centre of Chichester, you can enjoy some of the best views of the cathedral. There are plenty of benches to take that well-earned rest, or sit and admire the immaculately kept gardens.

In the gardens you will find a section of shrubs, trees, roses, climbers and herbaceous plants, with around 100 unusual trees and shrubs throughout. There is also an eye-catching rose pergola which was planted in 2009 and carries climbing roses, clematis and honeysuckle.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

The patio furniture has now been moved off the lawn and back it its former location. I have not placed all the tubs in their final locations yet, I haven’t quite decided what I want where. I don’t want all the bins cluttering up the garden so I need to clear a space for two of them in the garage. The small wall where the pots are currently situated will continue around the patio and a flower border will be dug on the opposite side of it.

I also need to replace the bench that unfortunately got broken whilst moving things around after the patio had been laid. The new bench will be placed underneath the window on the narrow part of the patio. I have a bench in mind, I just need to measure it to make sure that it isn’t too tall.

As I mentioned in my previous post, two garden fairies have set to work tidying up the borders for me. The garden is looking much better already
