A birthday outing, this time to Barnsdale, the site of the 'Gardener's World' programme, filmed by the BBC, presented by Geoff Hamilton who had a pro-organic, DIY style of gardening. Way back, when I was a lot younger, I vaguely remember watching the show with my parents in a time when organic wasn't that popular in the supermarkets. There are thirty eight different types of gardens for every type of gardener, to name but a few...
- Gentleman's Cottage Garden
- Ornamental Kitchen Garden
- Woodland
- Reclaimed Garden
- First Time Garden
Before and after to make a cute, apple ball tree. |
They use a lot of combination planting in the veggie gardens, using certain flowers to boarder the vegetable plants to bring in the insects and keep the pests down naturally. They have rows and rows of fruit trees, all neatly and sometimes severely pruned back. When I have my cottage in the country with my horses down the road, chickens in the yard, I would love a veggie patch that is just as impressive as the ones at Barnsdale!
