Muddy and Cold in Nymans Land

Filed under: Great Gardens, Heritage Gardens & gardening — Leave a comment

My friends Jen and Dave paid a visit to the wonderful gardens at Nymans in Sussex, recently. Jen says:

‘On a cold (4 degrees),damp and very grey day we went to Nymans, a National Trust property, for a long muddy walk in their woods.
The gardens are well known for several different types of snowdrops but it was the variety of winter colour which shone through. The Camellias have been coming out early and there were even a couple of Rhododendrons in flower.’

Thanks for the pictures, Jen!
