Great you like Bressingham!! :-) I work in the Foggy Bottom area mainly, an incredible amount of interest, such a chocolate box of plants. Definately worth a visit for the professional or the amateur gardener! :-)
Thankyou, I am to keep everything tidy :-) To get the effect of the grass you simply unroll it in the opposite direction. The Ampitheatre looked great when we finished, unfortunatley when it was handed over the on site staff were not very skilled in using a strimmer and therefore did a poor job of cutting it, however it is making a recovery :-)

Glad you liked the pics. Where you work looks pretty good also. Yes, it is a pendulour cedar. I think the tree you were looking at is in the 'sad bed', called so as everything is weeping!!! :-/ :-)
I enjoyed looking at the pics, I quite like these island beds and dont understand why they are so unfashionable nowerdays. They look better as they get older, is the droopy looking tree a pendulus Cedar?
Hi I've loved looking at your pictures of Bressingham/ Foggy Bottom thank you for putting those up, I worked at Blooms a long time ago but spent many an hour at Foggy Bottom collecting plant material for the propagation unit, many good memories and loved living in Diss too
Thanks for the extra piccies - I remember the 'island beds' - all the rage at the time, as I expected, the trees are a lot bigger!! Mental note to self to visit when I am up your way.
Best regards
Yes, i shall when i get time as it takes ages. Bressingham is a great place, you should go and visit. I work mainly on Adrian Blooms Foggy Bottom garden which is over 40years old. There are a fantastic assortment of gardens at Bressingham and the variety of plants is staggering. Definately a garden and plants enthusiasts paradise! :-)
Great to see a picture of Bressingham Gardens - haven't been there since I was a student in the 60's! I expect it has changed a bit and the trees will be somewhat larger!! Do post more.

Do feel free to add to the first topic with ideas about your favourite historic gardens and perhaps also think about starting a new discussion topic?
Spread the word - garden history is important - to me anyway!!
