Being a avid gardener I love to see other people's gardens and other gardens across the US and around the world. . Roy Kelley is an avid photographer who showcases many flowers from Longwood Gardens. A 1077 acre Garden with much beauty. It is on my bucket list. Now I came across this place called Bodnant Gardens which is in Britain. Now I don't know if I will ever make it to Britain but it is interesting learning about the different places outside my little corner of the gardening world.
Bodnant Garden features an extensive and varied range of interesting and beautiful plants from all over the world, particularly China, North America, Europe and Japan that are suited to the Welsh climate and soil. The gardens, which spread over the 80 acres surrounding Bodnant House, were begun in 1875. They were first laid out by Henry Davis Pochin, a successful industrial chemist, his daughter married the first Baron Aberconway in 1911, after which the gardens were tended by four generations of the local Aberconway family. A minimum of two hours is required to fully appreciate the garden. Plants and shrubs provide a blaze of color through Spring and Summer but Autumn is arguably the best time to view the garden.
God's beauty is all around us. take time each day to enjoy it. It will nourish your soul
