RHS Rosemoor 2007 : We revisited these beautiful North Devon gardens earlier this year, just before the deluge started. The last visit was in 2005 in the autumn so that it was interesting to see the differences between the seasons. The roses were at their best this time; sadly I suspect they may have suffered since in all the rain.

Plantasia : The first bit of sunny weather a few days ago gave us the opportunity to get out into the countryside. We chose Plantasia, run by the garden centre "Dobbies", near to Atherstone and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours wansering around the woodlands.

RHS Rosemoor 2005 : The RHS has spent the last 15 years creating a National Garden just to the south of Bideford in North Devon. Originally owned by Lady Anne Berry who handed over her famous 8 acre garden to the RHS in 1988. This with a further 32 acres of pastureland have been turned into a sensory delight.

Gardener's World Live 2005 : Some photographs from the BBC sponsered Gardener's World Live 2005 at the NEC near Birmingham. The show was extremely popular, and getting good pictures with the crowds was sometimes a problem. The pictures cover many of the show gardens, and some from inside the magnificent flower hall.

Stoke-on-Trent Garden Festival 1986 : National Garden Festivals were set up primarily to help regenerate industrial wastelands. This site had been used as an industrial area for over 200 years. In the previous 50 years pottery manufacturing had moved to Barlaston, coal mining had ended and in 1978 the steel works had closed down with the loss of over 2500 jobs. Seems a shame that this is not still happening today. These are a few scanned photos from a windy day out.
