QUARRY GARDENS GARDEN DISCOVERY

The Quarry Gardens Garden Discovery is on this weekend.  I think it is their main fundraiser.  There are eleven gardens of various sizes.  We visited six today.  Two that are further out we have been to previously and skipped and two we plan to visit tomorrow. The other is the Quarry Gardens itself which we visited recently.

The first five photos were from a small garden that backs onto some bush.








The next three photos were from a lovely large garden we had visited before and it was interesting to see how it had grown.



The next photos were from a lovely garden on the Harbour's edge.  It was actually the first garden we visited and Doug took the photos.







This bottom photo is of part of a wonderful mosaic wall in a bathroom of the first house.  I took the photo with my phone and could not get far enough back to get the whole wall.


We really enjoyed the day out.  There were a couple of very short showers but otherwise it was a lovely fine day.

  1. Some of those Palms are wonderful. I planted a Phoenix Palm in France last year, but I don't expect to see it grow much.

    1. Yes, the mosaic was wonderful. A pity I couldn't get the whole wall in the shot.
