We were so sad when we heard he had died. How lucky you are to have visited Barnsdale. We sadly caught the gardening bug despite the children and when they were younger they had to suffer many visits to gardens and garden centres. I'm glad you had such a wonderful afternoon out, looking at open gardens. The elderly gentlema's garden and the last one look fantastic. It must be amazing having a canal at the bottom of the garden.

I, too, loved watching Geoff Hamilton on TV, have that book and the DVD too - it was due to his influence that I now garden in the cottage garden style. And the Lychnis chalcedonica ... I can still remember vividly the first time I ever saw some flowering in an English country garden - absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing your birthday treat.

My most prized possession is a signed copy of this and I spent 7 years putting together a cottage garden with his inspiration and ideas. It's a shame he died so early! My favourite rose in my garden now is the Geoff Hamilton rose, so many layers in this old fashioned rose and they always make me smile. Thanks for a taste of summer!

I have a book called "Paradise Gardens" by him where people have made beautiful secluded gardens out of what would normally be suburban or town gardens. It is really inspirational. I like the last garen you visited best also. The daisies and geraniums are beautiful. Lily.

I so enjoyed this. I too love gardening, but I am still learning all the time. My father was a very keen gardener and spent most of his time making our garden look like an art exhibition, I certainly don't have this talent or knowledge, but I definitely have the love. I just love seeing other peoples gardens so thank you for this wonderful post. My favourites were the first and the last, I just love the charm of a cottage garden. xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.com
