The Gardens boast one of the finest tree collections in the world, set on banks around a great lake. The famous Pantheon, Temple of Flora and Temple of Apollo (where Darcy first proposed to Elizabeth in the new Pride and Prejudice Film) form the centre-point for countless vistas from around the garden, inspired by classic Renaissance landscape paintings.

"The Adirondack chair (in Canada, more commonly called a Muskoka chair) is a simple chair made of wood or man made materials, generally used outdoors. Originally made with 11 flat wooden boards, it features a straight back and seat and wide armrests. ....
"The first Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee while vacationing in Westport, New York, in the Adirondack Mountains in 1903. Needing outdoor chairs for his summer home, he tested his early efforts on his family. After arriving at a final design for a "Westport plank chair", he offered it to a carpenter friend in Westport in need of a winter income, Harry Bunnell.
"Bunnell saw the commercial potential of such an item being offered to Westport's summer residents, and apparently without asking Lee's permission filed for and received [a] U.S. patent ... in 1905. Bunnell manufactured hemlock plank "Westport chairs" for the next twenty years, painted in green or medium dark brown, and individually signed by him.
"Modern Adirondack chairs usually feature a rounded back and contoured seat, modifications made by Irving Wolpin, who received [a] U.S. patent ... for his design in 1938."
My favourite part of the National Trust's Glendurgan Garden is the maze, so I couldn't miss the chance to take a couple of pictures yesterday afternoon. It was completely overcast when we arrived ,but just as we reached the maze the clouds parted and the sun came out. Perfect timing!

I visited the Japanese Gardens in Washington Park, Portland, Oregon. I was too early for the magenta colored azaleas and most of the Japanese maple was not fully leafed out, yet. Nonetheless, there's plenty of beauty to capture in zen like serenity.
The "Natural Garden" is the machiai style. A place for reflection.
The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives.

The garden of this isolated house not far from Lee Common has beautiful views across pastoral farmland. I passed this on the final stretch of my walk yesterday.
The house is for sale, the asking price is £700,000! You would only get a cramped flat in Central London for this price!
Recently in my house garden.
The Orange-Tip (male) sat on a cool but sunny morning on the not yet opened pasqueflower, which I planted in my garden in front of a natural stone wall. On the wall blooms at the time the Blue Cushion.
Neulich in meinem Hausgarten.
Der Aurorafalter (Männchen) sass an einem kühlen aber sonnigen Morgen auf der noch nicht geöffneten Blüte der Küchenschelle, die ich in meinem Garten vor einer Natursteinmauer gepflanzt habe. Auf der Mauer blüht zur Zeit das Blaukissen.

We haven't been to Ness Gardens for some time. The gardens, (which were starting to look a bit run down, some years back) are now back to prime condition and looking wonderful. I loved the striped lawn!

The Medieval Hall was built around 1208 although the solar wing has long since disappeared. The Jacobean Mansion was built in 1671 and in 1720 the Hopper family built the Georgian House.
