Exploring Doddington Place Gardens on Easter Sunday


Visiting a Beautiful English Garden


It was a hot sunny Easter Sunday here in the UK - normally it snows at Easter, so we were already onto a winner!
We'd had Doddington Place Gardens, near Faversham in Kent, on our must visit list for several years, and finally we decided today was the day.
I went equipped with my filming gear and made a video for my YouTube channel, and here are a few photographic highlights for you.

Enjoy!

Visiting Godinton House and Gardens for Delphinium week 2018

Splendid Delphiniums on Display

This week's video (taken on my brand-spanking new camera - the Canon M50) is a visit to the beautiful, tranquil walled garden at Godinton House near Ashford, Kent.

Set amongst 12 acres of grounds, the Walled Garden was the kitchen garden for the House and Estate.
It is now home to a huge Victorian-style greenhouse, clipped box wood, a  rich collection of herbaceous perennial plants, and the stars of the June show are very definitely the Delphiniums. So much so that Godinton House and the Delphinium Society host a 'Delphinium Week' each year.

Come and explore the Walled Garden with me, and experience these breathtaking plants in their prime, plus some cheeky extras in the greenhouse!



Enjoy!
Love
