I have finished processing the photographs from my last visit to the gardens at East Ruston Old Vicarage:<\/p>\n

\"winter<\/a>I am grateful the the owners, Alan and Graham, permit me to visit these gardens out of season. This first winter view is of the Red and Purple borders by the south side of the house. Although it was a dull winter’s day there is still colour and interest showing in the view: the beech hedges are hanging onto their golden leaves, spring bulbs are growing and the garden is tidy.<\/p>\n

This next image is a winter woodland view:<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/a>There is plenty of green foliage on the woodland floor that contrasts with the browns of the fallen leaves with the white flowers of the snowdrops providing sparkling highlights. I do like the way the browns in the background and trees contrast with green.<\/p>\n

But work is progressing:<\/p>\n

\"Work<\/a>I liked this little view of work in progress. This was taken around lunchtime which probably explains why the gardener was absent. I love the yellow colour of what could be winter aconites. I did have to cheat a little with this image: the blue pipe for the tap and the yellow hose from it was just too bright and distracting – I had to tone them down a bit.<\/p>\n

This final image is in the Winter Garden:<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/a>This area of the garden appears to have been planted to look good in winter – and it does! I had difficulty choosing which one to show. Lots of foliage, lots of colour – I love the red and yellow stems of the dogwood: you can see the red in the middle and the yellow-red at the end of the grass path.<\/p>\n

You can see the complete set in the Vicarage Garden gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
