EAGG Visit - 9th June 2012

Patrick Lines and his partner Han Yap may be fairly new to gardening but Elsing Hall Garden is proof that the bug has truly bitten them.     

The roses that were out gave promise of the heaven to come in a week or two but from the wild flower borders, as you cross the moat, to the view through the moon gate and on to the very formal Osprey garden with its topiary there is plenty to see.  

The unusual gingko avenue, the viewing mound planted with lonicera nitida and the new tree planting were all features to please the eye. Last, but definitely not least, jolly good coffee and biscuits to consume on the south front terrace overlooking the formal lawn borders, and the black swans on the moat rigorously guarding their cygnets.  

Elsing Hall is a beautiful house in a very beautiful setting.
