Cranbrook Garden Beauties

Sheila's gorgeous clematis
Cranbrook’s Fifteenth Open Garden Day was a great success and a delight to the senses. Every garden had beautiful ideas and plants to enjoy, great people to chat with about all things horticultural and the weather was perfect! Thank you to all the organisers and those who so generously shared their gardens.




"He who plants a garden plants happiness."
Chinese proverb


Gwenda's pastel pink Oriental Poppy and the seed heads of early clematis


The joyful surprises of Balment Garden Townhouse patios


perfect location for an art display








Margaret Skoberg ,whose artwork was displayed.

A perfect picture

Gwenda and David's large rural garden blends wild and tamed


Poppies, Potentilla and Rhubarb - great texture combination

Carol's Cottage

This one's identity  in Bonnie's garden kept a few wondering - Persian Cornflower, Centaurea dealbata

Dolores Cottingham, Betty-Ann Newhouse and Fay Sandahl, just three of the gardeners responsible for the community park-like setting at Balment Gardens

Thank You All. Look forward to next year!
