Five National Trust Blooms
The National Trust is a place to visit when, at this time of year, my garden is resembling a dried flower arrangement and my enthusiasm for regenerating it is low. Nyman’s Gardens did the trick. Their borders are fresh and watered unlike my own.
It costs £8 to get in, but, as we were quite severely reminded by one of the volunteers, it is a first-rate garden, and, if the person who wasn’t a member cared to join, she would save a great deal of money. But…..she doesn’t want to join we said. Preposterous! Was the non verbal reply….. Hummmmm, don’t overdo your selling techniques NT, or you might just lose as seasoned member!
Anyway, they do great teas which we enjoyed!

I agree that the NT can be expensive and we became ‘members’so that we could forgo the entrance fees and tend to go to places that possibly we wouldn’t have visited had we not got the membership because of it. I also think that perhaps some of their volunteer staff might need a course at charm school!
