A highlight of our second day in Norfolk last week was a trip to Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property. The house is amazing, including a huge collection of antiquarian books. We were not expecting much of a garden, although there are hundreds of acres of landscaped grounds. But we were pleasantly surprised to discover a fantastic walled garden. The first section reminded me of Parham in West Sussex, with its straight gravelled pathways overflowing with flowers.
The other half of the garden is divided into a series of allotments, which members of the public maintain. This scheme seems to be working really well, as there was a wealth of produce on display.

| Is this the best hen house in the world?! |
The greenhouses have been restored and were full of tender plants.

| These Agapanthus were still flowering on the 30th November! |
Still lots in flower. Loving the hen house!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's clucking great! (oo, does that sound rude?!)
DeleteThe hen house looks cool! And so does the greenhouse :) Another gem of a garden in Norfolk!
ReplyDeleteWho knew Norfolk had so much to offer. An overlooked county perhaps - certainly by me!
DeleteI love the photo you took of the flower.
ReplyDeleteIf there was an award for most attention-seeking flower, the passion flower would be a strong contender!
DeleteThat passion flower makes for a gorgeous photo...a real show stopper!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping on by, Jane!
