Renishaw Hall Gardens in November
It looks like I've had my
final visit of the year to Renishaw Hall Gardens. I was greeted in
the car park aka front lawn with the sight of some of the wonderful
trees in their full autumnal glory.
It's definitely time to put
the garden to bed until spring. The fabulous collection of statues
have been wrapped up to protect against the winter frosts and
possible snow.
The only statues that remain
uncovered are round the side of the house with the collection of
stonework oddments.
The borders have been
cleared and are now ready for the new year.
A little nod to Christmas is
the topiary reindeer. There's also a rabbit presumably waiting for
Easter.
I'm not sure the red berries
will last until Christmas but I'm sure the birds will be grateful for
an easy feast.
We didn't go down to the
woodlands. The rain has been so heavy recently I thought it would be
more like a swamp down there. Whatever the season the path leading
down to the temple is always romantic.
Not everything has got the
memo about what time of year it is. Some of the hydrangeas are still
in full bloom with no signs of the petals turning to their winter
skeletal state.
I'm not sure some of the
rose buds will ever have the chance to bloom now but the ones that
have come out this year have provided a magnificent display.
With so many plants now
dying away it allows others to display their final hurrah.
So farewell for now Renishaw
Hall Gardens and I'll be ready to see you again in March.
