Reflections on a flower-fuelled Event! - It’s that time of the year again when Ball
Colegrave of Adderbury throw open their doors to admit their very enthusiastic
public who arrive in droves to ooh and aah at the wonderful display of
blooms set out on a background of smooth green velvet, to wander up and down
manicured pathways, pristine greenhouses and all nooks and crannies
simply bursting with colourful petal on petal, all determined to be “best in
show”!
For sheer exuberance of colour, style and aesthetic pleasure
Ball Colegrave’s Open Garden Day is an Event of prime importance for garden
novice to ancient gardener of 50 year’s standing, for the knowledge to be
gained from simply walking about looking at plants, acquiring plant names and
varieties, colour mixing and matching and seeing what a dedicated and
scientific study of plants and their habits can produce.
There are plant catalogues to amass, answers to be gained
from helpful staff and impetus for striving over and over again in your endeavour
to grow beautiful blooms and plants of your own.
Also on show, of course, their tomato and
vegetable plants to contemplate and delight in.....and herbs to appreciate...
Then, of course, you have the opportunity of buying one or two, or even more, of their potted plants for your own garden to enjoy and watch over until once more you have the opportunity of visiting Ball Colgrave again!
Along with the gardens to view, refreshment to bought and
enjoyed is a small craft fair to be viewed and noted for the fine display of
goods and wares provided by this year’s team of ardent local crafts people such
as…
