A glimpse of Tatton

It’s #rhstatton from your Northern Correspondent, Daniel Carruthers.

One of the football club gardens that caught my eye was 'This is Anfield' by Ann Picot

'A Stitch in Time Saves Nine' by Daniela Coray

Capturing this garden in it’s entirety was near impossible due to the crowds surrounding Monty Don and Andy Sturgeon. I should add the crowds could have been there to appreciate the beautiful planting and not the celebrities.

'Rider on the Storm' garden by Alexandra Frogatt

The vertical planting caught my eye having read Stephanie’s post about it at the recent Hampton Court Show.

On Monday 4 May this unique free event will showcase the very best of London’s gardens. Featuring outstanding planting and design ideas, many of these modern gardens have never been open to the public before. The ten gardens comprising The Great London Garden Trail are grouped into small clusters in zones 1 to 3 and will be open, free, between 12–4pm, making it the perfect way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday. The trail offers a broad spectrum of gardens intended to inspire budding gardeners whatever your style, or restrictions on space. The gardens range from a stylish and functional communal roof terrace tucked away off the Kings Road to a bold, architectural garden at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
