The first of our Musical Sundays on 4thAugust was a big success. We were lucky to have a gloriously sunny day with a cool breeze, filling the air with music. The two cellists from Ensemble Reza played under the trees on with the South Lawn as the stage, and the Elizabethan Mansion House as a dramatic backdrop.
Eloise Irving (pictured) performed on 11th August on the Azalea Ring. The elegant sound of the harp was so fitting for the surrounding. Eloise is a lady with many talents and also sang, giving a lovely variety to the afternoon.

The gardening team have been busy watering, pruning, dead-heading roses, weeding and strimming back long grass. They have also planted some new filler plants; cleome, nicotiana and blue salvia.
If you are looking for a tree that flowers during summer and still looks stunning in the autumn, you could consider Koelrederia paniculata (pictured).
This striking tree has vibrant yellow flowers during the summer ad bright red berries during the autumn. This species of flowering plant is in the family Sapindaceae, came from China
One of the things we love to see is different generations exploring and enjoying the Garden together. Pictured is one of our younger visitors and his dad playing with the flowing water in the Italian Garden
