Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

It’s so graceful to be blown by the wind, to go where the wind takes you. Just drifting over beautiful rivers in a balloon is perfect.

Arundel Castle Rose Garden

In the castle Rose Garden we have a wonderful array of roses planted for their colour, scent and structures giving everyone a good idea of different varieties, looking for a shrub, climber or standard rose. This garden is enhanced by the dramatic backdrop of the ancient castle, which is reflected by the gothic archways and seats designed especially to blend aesthetically with the castle’s gothic windows.

Walderton House & Garden

CherryPie — Sat, 26 Jan 2019 23:06:06 +0000

The house from Walderton was built in the early-mid seventeenth century. The garden would have been mainly for vegetables, fruit, herbs and livestock. However, at this date and social level some plants were beginning to be grown for their aesthetic qualities. Lilies, Primroses and gillyflowers in the borders – the very first beginnings of decorative planting and display towards the public face of the garden.

By the 17th century a wider range of vegetables was available. As new varieties of brassicas were grown, the older practice of cultivating edible weeds declined.
