    Norfolk meet up? 11.6.11

    Diary | Gardens Illustrated

    East Ruston Old Vicarage, near Stalham. How to find it

    The gardens are fabulous, as are the tea rooms I hope to be going, anyone else?

    NO!!!
    Of all the days it's my busiest....looks like a good day though...and reasonably priced.

      Went to a garden open day some years ago,well worth the journey Any one going that wants a good meal at reasonable price in a "real" pub go into the village & try The Butchers Arms

          Too far for me but never mind we have one on the 8th May to look forward too.

            It is rather a long way from me these days,but for anyone even vaguely local it will be a good day out the vicarage gardens are well worth a visit even without the other stuff happening on this particular day

              Well, I went with RustyLady and we had a jolly good day: kicking off with a premium pork hot dog for her (at 10am !) and handmade macarons for me (made by a chap off Masterchef apparently).

              Plenty of lovely plant stalls, very good quality & good prices too. We didn't need anything but managed to sneak one new plant each into our bags. There were talks by local garden folk in the marquee, but we skipped that to go and fill up on cake & coffee in the sunshine.

              I took many, many photos but thought you'd mainly be interested in the potager ones

                    Sorry I couldn't make it...twas the school Summer Fayre (and my 40th...ssshhh!!!)
                    Will have to try and arrange something for the Summer.

                      Sounds like you had a wonderful time T.S & R.L. And what's a day out if you can't "sneak" a plant or two home .

                        They're mostly photos of chairs BB (for painting projects). Here's some chooky ones:

                        1) pompom heads lol
                        2) now that's what you call a chicken shed
                        3) broody Buff Orpington raising lots of mixed origin chicks
                        4) bee hives in the orchard

                            1) a formal nettle hedge: what a brilliant idea
                            2) weird succulent ... any ideas?
                            3) that purple hedge is nepeta, not lavender. And check out the view cut through the hedge
                            4) looks like a sweetcorn relative ... any ideas?
                            5) paths are mown through the wild flowers throughout the gardens, lovely
