On Sunday I visited the beautiful garden at Bates Green in Arlington, East Sussex. This garden opens under the National Garden Scheme several times a year, and is also famed for its stunning bluebell walk. A true plant-lover's paradise, the garden seems to be at its peak no matter when one visits. It also boasts a rather fabulous tea room with wonderful cakes and ploughman's lunches. What more could one wish for?!

| Oh my gourd! |
 |
| They've been squashed in.... |
 |
| Aster-way to do it! |
 |
| Grasses and perennials associating beautifully |
 |
| A frenzy of late-flowering pokers |
 |
| A cleverly framed view of the pond |
 |
| There have been so many Red Admirals this week |
 |
| Dahlias add heat to the mix |
 |
| In this border, pastels are the stars |
 |
| Hot, hot hot! |
 |
| I think Christopher Lloyd would have liked this border |
 |
| Mellow yellow |
