I love going to Open Gardens as they often give some ideas of things or plants you can use in your own garden. I am sure you would have loved seeing the different sizes and styles of gardens too.<br />I hope you have a good gardening week.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-85388976320226617482014-06-09T14:16:19.099+01:002014-06-09T14:16:19.099+01:00Thanks, Jane.

The peonies were stunning and they seemed to be very popular as they seemed to be in every garden in one form or another. The free plants were amazing (aren't gardeners so nice?), as were the cakes!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-82036113063480406092014-06-09T14:13:32.087+01:002014-06-09T14:13:32.087+01:00Thanks, Alison.

I love aquilegia 'dancing fairies'- those are a glorious purple. We had lots at the last house but here a lot of plants don't seem to grow, it's either very. very dry or more often, extremely wet! Sounds like a lovely afternoon and of course-the cake! Alison xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06776307610869291302noreply@blogger.com
