It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We extend our deepest sympathies to His Majesty The King and all members of the Royal Family.

The House and Gardens will be closed for the funeral of Her Majesty The Queen on 19th September.

Lilium martagon naturalising in the wildflower meadows is a sight to behold in July.

We are so glad for the showers this morning, although they lasted just a few minutes.

Roses belting out oodles of perfume on the @SitSpiritually swing seat.

Is there a better sight in the garden than the colours of Candelabra Primula on a warm sunny day? These plants originate from our friends @fordeabbey just up the road. #sittingspiritually #candelabraprimula #mygardentoday

[Forde Abbey & Gardens @fordeabbey]

The herbaceous borders are beginning to burst in colours of summer.
