Nymans Gardens. Mostly trees and flowers.

Fine weather - very warm, clear blue sky and sunshine.
We took a picnic to Nymans Gardens.


































That is our picnic view - looking south to The Downs.

After our meal we walked around the garden. It is close to home and we enjoy regular visits.
Today we were delighted with summer flowers and, as always, the beautiful trees.


A lovely blue hydrangea.




















Golden leaves and blue sky.











Even the weeds have their beauty.
Stinging nettles should be seen but not touched.



















It is hard to pick a favourite tree at Nymans.
But this one always appeals to me.
I forget its name....and the label seemed to be missing today.

















Spider's web spun over a crevice in the tree.






































































The herbaceous borders at Nymans are long and oh do impressive at this time of year.
But I loved seeing the flowers in our own little border featured there.


I always loved the sculptural look of dahlias.









































The rose garden still shows signs of suffering through all the wet and cold we have had.
But these two, against the blue sky, were pretty stunning.
