Polgwynne Part Two

So it didn't rain and the sun came out (briefly) on the lovely Polgwynne garden, open yesterday to raise money for NEST (see previous post). The only weather related issue was the wind, which howled around attempting to flatten anything in it's path, happily the garden withstood the onslaught well. 

It looked beautiful, the promised Peonies were spectacular, and the Crambe Cordifolia (although slightly wind tossed) was enormous and frothy

 

 There were lovely combinations of Aliums, Nepetas Hardy Geraniums and Salvias, subtle Astrantias... 

...and blazing Geums.

There were Echiums covered in bees...

...a dark red Jasmine, and a dark red leaved Geranium.

The potager and cutting garden had come on leaps and bounds since April...

...and the border combinations were very varied and interesting.

All in all, a good Sunday afternoons nosing about in someone else's garden - my favourite pastime! 

And the teas, cakes and milkshakes seemed popular too, so here's hoping they raised lots for the charities concerned!
