Open Gardens
At the weekend we attended Broseley Open Gardens. Six gardens opened up in our town for visitors and there were many delights. This is a town of old houses and secluded back gardens. I had no idea people had such gardens. The children loved it too asking "Are we going to see another one?" The photos I am proud to say are either taken by me or Big Sis but I can't really tell because we shared her camera because she came out without a memory card so I gave her mine! She learnt to use her "mackerel" (macro, ha ha!) lens on Sunday so she was quite engrossed.

All of the photos and the gardens are beautiful!!!! Well done to your daughter for taking such great pictures! I have never been to any open gardens, it is something that I always think I would like to do and never get round to, you have inspired me to see if I can find some to visit! I love the photo of the sculpture, it is a lovely picture and a lovely sculpture too! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of a beautiful garden Jo, thank you so much to Big Sis and yourself for sharing these with us. The pics are so nicely composed and I do love your first one, that is so lovely, and the blue dragonfly - that was well caught! Thank you! xoJoy
ReplyDeletePS - and I meant to say I also love your last pic of you and little one enjoying the orange blossom. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day and those gardens....just outstanding Jo!!! Thank you for bringing us along on this one! Loved those blooms...and that last shot completely melted my heart! Ya gotta frame that one friend! Such goodness all around! Happy Wednesday lady! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou both did a great job with your photography....the blue bug [walking stick? dragon fly?] is especially amazing! It is interesting to see what is growing around you, and I imagine the orange blossoms must smell heavenly. I just planted two trailing geraniums in my window box today. The petals have pink and red stripes, a combination I have never seen before. It is so lovely to be able to enjoy the wonderful plants around us at this time of year, isn't it? xx
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of open gardens! I don't think mine would be up to the challenge but there are a few nearby that I quite fancy looking in (rather than peeking over the fence).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and such a clever daughter she certainly has an eye.
ReplyDeleteDear Jo
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - it look like there were some stunning gardens. I love visiting other people's gardens too - it is always a surprise to see what's behind the wall/fence/hedge.
Best wishes

Aren't you two just the cutest!

A lovely post. I love a nosey around other people's gardens. It a same that people seem to do less and less with their gardens these days.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I could do with finding out if they do this anywhere near us, I'd love to get inspiration like this
ReplyDeleteMackerel lens! That is so sweet. I love these photos, she/you did a great job with them. This is a really pretty place and I'd enjoy it a lot. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMackerel lens it is then :-) I wonder if your family will be using that term in twenty to thirty years time...?
ReplyDeleteThe gardens and plants are beautiful Jo

I couldn't convince anyone else to come on Sunday (and possibly the thought of having to start at the other end of town put them off!!). I'm very jealous though - the gardens look fabulous. I WILL be there next year whether anyone else wants to come or not. And Big Sis has taken some fab pictures with her 'mackerel' lol
