Friday evening is when we are invited into the home of our Pilates instructor. We planned it for the end of the week, so that any lumps, bumps and aches can be pin pointed and sorted. May/June in general are when everything starts to grow, and we have to seriously shift up a gear.
It's also a time when the plant world is at it's most beautiful. We get to work in some of the most wonderful garden spaces in the area, and spend lunch breaks along some of the most stunning coastline in the UK.
Our clients afford us the freedom to pretty much do as we please in their gardens, and in return, we have hopefully crested some places for them to find a similar kind of peace.
Next week we take a 'works' trip to Mottisfont, to see their rose collection. Amanda and I have seen it before, but Rebecca has yet to take in a truly magnificent and historic rose collection.
The following month is the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, where new designs will be scrutinised, business contacts made, plants purchased, and champagne quaffed.
Life ain't so bad. The body is being worked on.......the mind, well, gardens kind of take care of that.
Well done. All the photos look really beautiful. I wish I had your talent.
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind Cro. They are just a small sample of the gardens we are fortunate enough to look after.
DeleteYes! I agree..lovely photos and lovely gardens..as l've said before l'm no gardener, but l managed to finish all my hanging baskets, wicker baskets, even my old trainers, that l fill with soil and plant Lobelia in, are all done! :).
ReplyDeleteI love a nice garden, watched all episodes of Chelsea Flower Show..even voted for the viewers favourite, that won..'Welcome To Yorkshire'..Chatsworth Flower Show..and Hampton Court coming up..! :).
I've been having a catch-up on your posts and glad to find that life is good. Hard for it to be otherwise in a garden in June when the weather is fine! I have never been to Mottisfont but am now tempted to make a special trip. Do they have old roses for sale?
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary
DeleteThey have stacks of old roses in their garden, and well worth a visit now, but last call none for sale. Cranborne Manor has an excellent selection to choose from though. Nicevto see hou on blogland 😊
I like your closing words here. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the Alice Cooper quote on your sidebar!
