The beauty of living in this country is that garden visiting doesn’t have to stop just because it is winter. I don’t know about other countries, but here we are lucky to have people or organisations who are willing to create special winter gardens and hold sculpture exhibitions within their already very large gardens. These gardens can be scaled down for our own gardens to maybe just one bed or part of a bed that can be seen from the house, no point in getting cold unnecessarily! Even if you don’t have the room to make a special bed, then we can take inspiration from all the plants that are used. By using them at home we then make our gardens more interesting during the dark months of winter and if a piece of sculpture is added that can be seen from one of our windows, then even better! When we got up this morning we could see it was going to be a nice sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, so made the decision to visit Rosemoor, a garden belonging to the Royal Horticultural Society near the north coast of Devon, which we know has a winter garden within their huge garden, and an added attraction was that they are holding a sculpture exhibition this month, need I say more!
