Visit to Kiftsgate Court Gardens - September 21st 2022

Last week my friend Anne from Sweden was over and we went to stay with some mutual friends near Stratford upon Avon at their pelargonium nursery.  On Wednesday our friends took us to Kiftsgate Court Gardens, another garden I have wanted to visit for a long while.   I was not disappointed, despite summer being over and we are nearly into autumn.   I could appreciate how lovely the gardens would be in summer with beautifully scented rose beds.  

In the beautiful Cotswold county of Gloucestershire, Kiftsgate Court Gardens is the creation of three generations of women, from the 1920s to the present day; each generation putting their own style and touch on the gardens.   It was a wonderful visit.

I tried to capture the water from the leaves.  It's obviously on a timer of sorts as it was just starting to trickle as we were leaving this part of the garden.















oooOOOooo

Polesden Lacey is the first National Trust property to be open every day  (apart from 'staff training' days which turned out to be an AGM at Dorking ...
