ABBOTSBURY TROPICAL GARDENS

FROM OUR WEEK IN SOMERSET/DORSET

One of the first gardens we visited was at Abbotsbury Tropical gardens.


Lots of lovely planting and many different walks to do going round.


It was hard to decide which path to take!


full of interesting plants.

There was a large marque here for weddings, such a lovely setting for a special event.


lots of interesting splashes of colour in amongst the tropical leaves.

Its nice to see some of the plants we have.


The plants on this trunk look almost fake!


two wonderful stag statues lock antlers on a small open glade by the stream

A rope bridge for those brave enough to walk it!

Just a glimpse at these wonderful gardens, it would take at least a day to go right round and you'd probably still miss something. Lovely food and shop, well worth a visit.

  1. It's all so lush and beautiful. I love the latticework pavilion. It's inspiring me to think about some new projects for next year. For some reason my gardening mojo kind of gave out mid way through the summer.
