And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Visit to the Gardens at Packwood House



I had a day-out with a friend last week and we decided to visit Packwood House. After lunch of a cheese sandwich and flapjack (my friend had the soup of the day) in the tea-room, we walked round the gardens which are particularly lovely.








Into the Carolean walled garden



The "Yellow" border is full of perennials using a colour combination of pink, yellow, scarlet, carmine and lavender.

The Raised Terrace Walk where the borders are planted with "hot" colours.
