Author Message   Tony_willis  Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 03:28 pm EST :    last Sunday morning (torrential rain was forecast for the afternoon-and it did)we went to visit this garden which is about 25 miles North of us in the Lune valley. It was mainly built between 1805-1810 and is one of the homes of Arabella Lennox-Boyd who is a garden designer.it is only open a few times a year for charity. We had been told it was one of the finest in the North of England and that has to be true. All of Lancashire is not covered in dark satanic mills. Here are a few pictures the house and lake rosa banksii lutea on the house wall english bluebells in the woods a rhododendron on the rhododendron hillside davidia involucrata in the same area Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Malgorzata  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 07:50 pm EST :    Oh, to be there in person!!
