The Home of The Naked Gardeners...

Wow. More wow. Or as BBC's Alan Titchmarsh (gardener and host of numerous gardening programmes) once put it: "The WOW! factor is here in abundance".
I made a new aquaintance today, a twenty-five-minute drive from here: Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, also known as the Home of The Naked Gardeners. Today was not a "clothes optional day", and most bulbs still seem to suffer from a spot of stage fright, so this spectacular privately owned 5 acre garden will definitely be on the must-see list for a later date this spring or summer. To see the flowers in bloom, I mean.
What did you think?

Tomorrow, more images from this stunning former monastery garden and orchard. Fear not, most images will be perfectly decent. Except perhaps one...
