| A1liums in George Smith's garden |
This is but a a small part of the border in flower arranger extraordinaire George Smith's garden last summer. The garden is a floral delight and is immaculate both in design and attention to detail - a perfect example of how an eminent floral artist plans his garden to accommodate his passion for flowers.
I'm very fond of the flower and planted lots of Purple Sensation in Pablo's garden last year. As I write they are just beginning to show in the borders but have yet to unfurl and reveal their stunning lollipop heads.

| Time for tea at Bradley Walled Garden |
This charming table, set with teacups full of flowers, was a delightful addition to this Victorian walled garden situated not far from Prudhoe.
New owners have done little alter the layout of the garden. The borders are full of colouful plants that mirror those for sale. In addition to tasteful garden sundries, Bradley Walled Garden boasts a fine restaurant - booking ahead is to be recommended as its reputation grows.
