Bressingham In Bloom

Bressingham Gardens must be one of the finest gardens in the East of England. What started off as a piece of agricultural land, when it was bought by Alan Bloom in 1953, has evolved under the management of three generations of the Bloom family into today's floral wonderland of 8,000 species and varieties of plants. Lets waste no more time and just immerse ourselves in the Dell Garden.















































That's only part of the gardens, I'll show you more in the next post. Also on the site there's a steam railway museum, miniature steam railways, a fairground ride, a café, a gift shop and a collection of old vehicles used in the Dad's Army TV series. Then right next door there's a large garden centre which also has a restaurant. 



Take care.

  3. What a visual treat John, both your superb captures and the video on the link. Bressingham Gardens has so much to offer visitors, after a walk around the garden I would be into the nursery for sure 🌸💜

  4. It's obviously a very appealing place to visit, one that I would enjoy immensely. It's great that "even unto the third generation" the family has maintained a passion for the garden and the tradition continues. .

  7. Wow. So lovely. I am thinking and planning my garden as just today a tree service is here removing the overgrown bushes and trimming the trees. It's not the one we initially had a proposal from in January but kept putting us off when we inquired when?. We canceled that and went with a different company. Came Saturday for estimate and here today. I call that prompt service.

  9. Great photos...and I mean that. Beauty is often missed by the camera because there's not a clear foreground, midground and background...and these beds of flowers do offer great opportunities for your eye to capture them. Many thanks for sharing them here in blogland. I'm continually amazed at what I can find here!

  14. You have shown Bressingham off to perfection John.
    I watched Carol Klein recently on Channel 5 visiting Bressingham throughout all the seasons. What a very appropriate family name the Blooms have.
