The actual nursery and store are huge and the restaurant quite a size as well. But we veered a little off the track and followed a faded almost half hidden sign saying 'To Garden.' A fine November day and the gardens were deserted.
A shaded walkway led us up to an arched turret. Beyond, a crazy paved narrow path took us past a silver birch ....
.... a shady seat ...
.... a green lattice pergola with amazing shadows. We followed a narrow stream along the edge of the path.
A leaf-choked tiny waterfall a bit further on feeding a series of little pools.
Each one with lichen covered stones.
The calm stillness and the beautiful Autumn colours were hard to put into words. And only us and the squirrels.
