Kew in the Country

Blue Hydrangeas - M.Joy

Visited this Garden this weekend and it was being set for a Wedding.

Took my parents and my dad told us about Sir Henry Price the ’50 Shilling Taylor’ who was the last person to own Wakehurst before it was donated to the National Trust and then leased by Kew to be its Garden in the Country. He was an amazing man. His first wife was a seamstress and togethor they made a fortune with the 50 shilling suits but she died and he remarried and bought Wakehurst with his second wife.

This is one of the most beautiful Gardens in Sussex. Its huge with Californian Redwoods, a Himalayan Glade, several lakes, the Millenium Seed Bank, several Cafes, Deers, artists in residence and a place to be married
