PLANTS & NATURE
Having a garden of my own and living in the countryside really helps to develop an appreciation of nature. When you look closely at plants you start to see very interesting and sometimes amazing details. I do believe that people have become more connected with nature during lockdown. Spending time amongst the flowers and watching insects is very calming and takes you into another space

WOLLERTON OLD HALL GARDEN - SHROPSHIRE, UK
The decaying tree on first glance appears ugly but the more you look at it the more beauty you see. The close up of rain drops on the Euphorbia Titan Roundway hides the fact that this plant gets really big! In mid summer the flowers, which smell strongly of honey, have to be cut as they explode seeds everywhere! Wollerton Old Hall Garden Shropshire UK is the most beautiful garden I have ever visited. Set around a 16th century house it is divided up into mini gardens and is given the most care and attention to produce a truly magnificent garden delight.
