Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden
« on: June 01, 2009, 08:56:34 PM »
Our trip to see friends in Norwich over the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend took in a visit to Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden. The garden is set in 53 hectares (131 acres) of woodland, water gardens and private broad between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The flower colour came from swathes of Candelabra Primulas and Iris pseudacorus. Well worth a look for anyone visiting this part of England.

Here are a few pics.

For some reason I'd missed this little thread David !
Thanks to Chris for rejuvinating it  ;)

The candelabra's are fabulous aren't they !!
I'm a huge fan but I've got problems growing them well - too dry in my garden...  :-\

Thanks for showing !

You're not alone Luc, I can't grow them either. Glad you both liked the pics.
