Anne and Barry Wright's garden
« on: April 08, 2011, 10:44:39 AM »
Last Sunday we were lucky enough to have a look round Anne and Barry's garden easy to find with the forum members map.  It was looking terrific and I took some pictures.  I don't have names for all the plants but it will give you a general impression of one members garden.

A few more.  Anne and Barry were wonderfully welcoming and it was a beautiful morning for viewing plants.

Please note anyone coming from the north that the bridge over the Nidd at Cattal is closed for repairs. Contact me for alternative routes. Anyone passing through on their journey to or from the conference is welcome to give me a ring and come at a different time.
