I remember digging in the herbaceous border under the pleached limes and finding by accident the old drainage tunnel (my spade went through the bricks)running up the border on the beech side. I also remember battling with a windswept piece of paper in January 1990 trying fairly much in vain to match the original design to the plants actually "growing" in January! The other three gardeners passed me on the way to the Bothy for the 3 o'clock tea break & I joined them. When we all emerged at 3.15 the 8 wonderful Victorian chimneys had fallen in the gale, 2 crashing into the courtyard and 6 onto the path by the Copper Beech where we'd all walked at 3 o'clock - a lucky escape. I think we took at least 6 weeks clearing up the fallen trees in the gardens.<BR/>I really loved the gardens and loved working for Lady Bowman-Shaw!

I was working backwards through your Blog and was a bit worried it was no longer there as you hadnt mentioned it, so I'm very relieved to find it!

The gardens look wonderful and it is inspirational to see all the oppurtunity that I have here ahead of me. We have ten acres herewith a garden up near the house and a small hoophouse. I found your site quite by accident while searching for a topic on watering plants in a greenhouse and it lead me to your blog "the head gardener at the manor house".Penny Trupiano, Southern Michigan, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21340960.post-5335164756042207362007-05-17T20:33:00.000+01:002007-05-17T20:33:00.000+01:00HI therewhat a wonderful blog, it puts mine to sha...HI there<BR/>what a wonderful blog, it puts mine to shame!
