Today I'm still in the ornamental garden area at the Experimental Farm. This gap in the hedge is a tight fit.
Here we have another view of the Cereal Barn.
Part of the garden here is sunken from the rest of the ground level, arranged around a water feature.
A sundial at the east end overlooks things, dedicated to a horticulturalist who worked here.
This spot lies to the east of the sunken garden.
Coming back around, this view looks west over the sunken garden.
I then carried on with my walk.
It looks a lovely place to wander along with the sound of water, and plenty of shady seats in which to sit.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a walk through this garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very beautiful garden to walk around and take photos !
ReplyDeleteUn très beau jardin propice à la ballade
ReplyDeleteThat sunken garden is awesome. I really like water in a garden.
ReplyDeleteUm belo jardim, gostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Nice beautiful gardens.
ReplyDelete...I've always enjoyed sundials, no winding or batteries required.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful garden! The fountain looks so refreshing :-)
ReplyDelete@Rosemary: it is quite a place.
ReplyDelete@Nancy: I enjoyed it.
@Gattina: the gardens seemed at their height when I visited.
@Bergson: thank you.
@Jan: this water feature is well done.
@Francisco: thanks!
@Marianne: indeed.
@Tom: that's true!
@Tamago: it was well designed, and is well kept up.
Nice place! Thank you for sharing it. :-)
ReplyDeleteOrnamental garden? Interesting term. I wonder what makes an ornamental garden?
ReplyDeleteThe features in the ornamental garden are beautifully looked after William, lovely to stroll through. Hope your arm is feeling a lot better ✨
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful garden! I'd love exploring there.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lovely garden to sit in and rest for a while:)
ReplyDelete@DJan: you're welcome.
ReplyDelete@Red: according to the definition I've found, the ornamental garden is meant for aesthetic pleasure, the enjoyment of the beauty of its plants as opposed to being a working garden. This certainly qualifies.
@Grace: it's very well looked after. The arm's aching, but no worse, so I'm sticking with Tylenol instead of going to a doctor for a prescription, as was suggested when I did go to the hospital. The bruises have gotten darker on the leg though.
@Sharon: it's quite a place. Several acres of these gardens.
@Rosie: I enjoyed being there.
Thanks William.
