Blooms' Blooms

Bressingham Gardens has featured in these pages before, but it's always worth another visit. It's the creation of the aptly named Bloom family and consists of two large gardens, The Dell Garden and Foggy Bottom Garden. Here's some of what I saw.....










































There may well be another selection of photos from Bressingham once I get them sorted out. Until then....


Take care.

  1. Lucky you to be able to wander through such a beautiful garden. The photos capture the blooms. Always fancied going to Beth Chatto's garden, is in Essex but never made it.

  3. Super tour of their gardens John. I do occasionally buy stuff from them - always forst class and well-packed. I like your one or two 'art' shots too (hostas?) and they say a lot - good garden design when we are talking perennials and herbaceous borders is not all about flowers - the greenery is just as important.

  6. Great gardens. I can see why you are always keen to return. The name "Foggy Bottom" reminds me of a restaurant I once patronized by that name. It went from friendly people and great food to borderline surly and mediocre fare following a change of ownership. Predictably, it went out of business.

  18. First, a belated Happy Birthday John. As always wonderful photos. There is so much to see near you that I wonder how big an area you cover in your blog.

    1. Most of what I cover is within an hour's drive from my house, unless we venture to the coast which takes about two hours. For reasons I don't really understand we tend to go east more often than west. It's almost all within East Anglia.

    2. It is wonderful and, if I ever return for a trip an area I must investigate.

  19. What a lovely garden walk! I hear June of Britain is a wonderful season. The weather here is mostly rainy or occasionally sunny and sultry. The garden with a gazebo framed by the front bokeh plants (#6) looks dreamy, right out of a fairy tale. The 10th and the 14th images are also my favorites.

  23. Hi John - I'd love to visit Bressingham ... it looks a fascinating place - with a lot of history too from the Bloom family. Excellent photos ... and I can understand you going east - towards the coast, if you went west ... your legs would be stretched further across the country! Cheers Hilary
