Bentworth Garden Club
Garden Club The VillagerI cannot believe that we have visited our last gardens for the year. We have been so incredibly spoilt in what we have been able to see. In July by kind permission of the Macpherson’s we visited Armsworth Manor, near Old Alresford.

It is easy to dig up but annoying in paving cracks. Ever since I planted the white geranium pratense and the stripey ‘Mrs Kendall Clark’ I have these tall bushy geraniums in all shades of blue and ...
