I love that Lawrence was a plantsman first and designed the rooms to showcase his various and varied collections.<br /><br />Hidcote's different gardens have so many moods, some intimate, some expansive. For anyone who wants to see more photos, I've linked to my post.mss @ Zanthan Gardenshttp://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/?p=2112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-16492979018510147762009-09-24T07:29:33.484-07:002009-09-24T07:29:33.484-07:00Thanks from an armchair traveler, Jenny - what lov...Thanks from an armchair traveler, Jenny - what lovely photos and post of a garden we'd all love to see in person but are glad to visit it via your blog.

It is amazing to think that 100 years ago, the estate was purchased, and how long it took for the garden to mature. I guess that pleached Lime Walk I planted this year will be absolutely fabulous in 2109.

Many of these gardens had rather eccentric owners. They usually had money to do what they did. I wonder what Lawrence considered a small allowance? Next time I am in England I must take a look in the probate books to see how much she left!Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-68294845793600249872009-09-23T13:10:05.328-07:002009-09-23T13:10:05.328-07:00Thank you for the views and history of such a wond...Thank you for the views and history of such a wonderful garden.
