BRASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

The garden that made Rudyard Kipling feel like an English country gentleman, with spring blossom, summer roses, autumn apples and winter trees.

As you walk from the house and through the landscaped gardens, you enter the wildflower field. If you follow the path and head over the bridge at Bateman’s, you will finally come to the Park Mill where the watermill works daily milling flour that visitors can buy.

The landscaped gardens are beautiful at Bateman’s, what with its paved paths that lead you around the formal gardens. There is a water feature garden, and the wildflower field was amazing with its vast variety of flowers growing in amongst the wild grass.

We strolled the gardens and admired the various features of the landscaped gardens. It was the 18th of May 2012 and the gardens were immaculate. I thought the following two flowers would be ideal for Becky’s Walking Squares and Cee’s Flower of the Day Photography Challenges. There we were mid-way into May and the bluebells were still in full bloom.

In amongst the flower borders stood these mauve geraniums. The colour of these geraniums was so vibrant that it stood out from all the other flowers that were planted.

Have a great day everyone!
