At the end of the blue border is an arch dripping with sky blue clematis |
 |
After all the colour from the two main borders, we find ourselves in a much smaller, more restful space, filled only with various shades of green. |
 |
Beyond this is the sundial garden, a sundial surrounded by a raised bed of jewel-like plants |
 |
Again we cross under the arcade, this time looking back toward the house |
 |
Finally we come into the Gravel Garden |
 |
One of the treasures here is Crocosmia 'Rowallane'. |
 |
On the way back down the garden, you might even bump into Helen Dillon herself, either working... |
 |
...or just enjoying the flowers! |
 |
Out in the yard, you'll find what must be one of the most decorative compost heaps in the world, here seen at the start of the season... |
 |
...and here seen at the height of it! |
 |
Finally you make your way out to the front garden to the birch trees (in November)... |
 |
...and the visit comes to an end. |
