Good gardens should always have something to look at in flower, and as the wisteria fades away at Calke the hebraceous borders, roses and sweet peas start to flower.
The main walled flower garden had deep borders surrounding the central lawn with its palm trees and bedding plant display.
And among the flowers and on the walls behind are climbing roses to perfume the air.
Heading into the 'vegetable patch' the walls ar covered with sweet peas, and lavender lines the main path
This area isn't given over solely to practical veg plots but has flowers growing among them - some that were of medicinal use in the past, and others which attract pollinators. It makes it a lovely place to sit a while.
Just outside the garden's walls I found the delightful seed pods of Sicilian Honey Garlic. I always feel they look fairy houses, with pointed roofs.
