The gardens had been closed due to an infection of the box, but they are open again now. A good counting game for little ones is to count the lemons on the trees...
In the height of summer they are put out in front of the Orangery (as you can see).
If you are lucky, you may catch sight of hummingbird moths over the borders here...
We saw one on Sunday, but I couldn't catch up with it to photograph it. They seem to love these purple flowers as much as the bees do.
The spring garden is full of wildflowers and the golden garden has some lovely foliage colours at this time of year...
Along with the stumpery, the golden garden makes an excellent place to play hide and seek. I don't suppose we're supposed to do that, but it's a great way to escape from the kids for bit - especially if we prepare for it by going in camouflage!
