Jersey Garden Delights

On our first morning in Jersey with the sun shining we were taken on a tour of Mum and Gerald’s garden. Here are some snapshots.

This red Red Admiral butterfly was enjoying the garden too. Along with a dozens birds and hundreds of bees.





The secret is out!!

















































To create such a colourful garden by the sea, where the soil is poor and a salty wind often howls, is a work of love and artistry over many years. We’ve never been here to see it in its summer splendour before, so it’s a delight to share it this year.

Buen camino

  4. Yes, it occurred to me as well that Neil’s appreciation of trees and views could be influenced by a gardener who creates landscapes in miniature. Love those luscious roses especially, and as Neil points out, all that flowering in a salt breeze is very impressive. Very inspiring, especially in our winter dark and damp. Enjoy! KAS
