Finally got around to visiting the gardens of my local National Trust property, Llanerchaeron, yesterday. The walled gardens are inspiring. Not that I can aspire to having a walled garden but there are some great ideas for planting combinations, techniques for growing fruit and veg etc. and a cutting garden I can only dream of but maybe could replicate on a very small scale. I also came over all emotional. It was so beautiful.

Photo of a border in a walled garden full of colourful blooms that resemble a fireworks display. Yellow echinacea and day lilies, red crocosima, something very pink (phlox maybe) and ditto something white. Green foliage of a climbing rose (I think) smothers the red brick wall behind

#Gardening #Wildflowers #BloomScrolling

This is the second season of my mini wildflower meadow on our front yard extension. It used to be just weeds and now it's covered in flowers. My neighbors thought I was crazy but now they are very complimentary.

A view of a profusion of Black Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) with saffron-colored petals and very dark (nearly black) centers.

The focus is on a single Indian Blanket Flower (Gaillardia pulchella) with red petals that are ringed in bright yellow, and a red and yellow center. There are more growing elsewhere in the mini meadow.

I think this is False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), as identified by the iNaturalist Seek app. It is over 6 feet tall and has taken over the mini meadow this year. It did not make any appearance last summer.

A low-angle, medium shot of several lavender plants. The composition is dominated by the lavender in the foreground. Small violet flowers are in full bloom at the top of the stems. The background includes a clear, blue sky with a few green trees and reddish-pink flowers. The image is brightly lit, with strong contrasts between the purple blooms, green foliage, blues sky and earth tones.

I have a personal gardening goal to have ripe tomatoes by July 4 every year. This year I have ..technically... succeeded. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In this handmade abstract watercolor painting, two oak leaves in warm orange and yellow fall colors dance in an autumn breeze that drifts and swirls them through the sky.
