Final batch from Vicarage Garden, Manchester...

I particularly like the bog garden in the final picture ... as long as it isn't in MY back yard!!!   :)


The community at the Vicarage need letters of support to prove to the Charity Commission that the gardens have 'public benefit' i.e. 'That you (or someone you brought to the gardens) have found a special or inner peace there'. 
I am not (in any way) a religious person but I intend to support their efforts to keep this haven open.

A really beautiful place.  The only proof the Charity Commissioners need is to go and look at the place themselves !!

Beautiful garden Cliff. I love those Ceanothus. Alas not much seen in our country.
I hope the garden will remain!

Those dark eyed Rhodos are brilliant. Was the fan-tail nesting at eye level?

Many thanks for the kind comments folks!

Mark ... the fantail was nesting at about 15 feet above the ground ... I managed to stand on a low wall to take the shot.

Returned to the Vicarage Garden today to let my toddler grandson see the animals in the 'petting' zoo ... took a few more images that may be of interest?
