Penshurst Place

The final garden I visited in the summer that I've yet to post about is Penshurst Place. This West Kent garden is a real beauty, and deserves to have more visitors. The gardens are divided into many rooms, creating an intimate atmosphere despite the garden's large acreage.

This blue and yellow border is going to be renovated soon, but looks pretty good as it is!

I like the frothy Alchemillas edging this pathway.

The house looks magnificent with formal rose beds in the foreground.

The newly planted Jubilee Garden

Monardas, Lychnis and Sedums make a glamorous statement.

The new borders are already looking established.

The calm White Garden.

Huw making a fine contribution to the water feature...
