Snowshill Manor

Eva Nemeth August 9, 2018

I visited Snowshill Manor with friends on a very hot Summer's day. I'll definitely return in the Autumn as this most be the most relaxing National Trust garden I've ever been to and I know in the Autumn it will be magical..

Rosa open arms ‘chewpixel’ from the Perennial Lifeline Garden. One of my favourites at Chelsea this year. Never too late to catch up.

I guess, always look at the bright side, the foxgloves seem to really enjoy this cool Summer. And I don’t mind it either. (this and more are now available as prints, just follow my website)

Catching the last bit of Saturday light. It’s that time of the year again, yes, time to sow foxglove seeds if you’d like to have beautiful ones like these (well, mines never are like these (grown by @organicblooms) but quite close 😉) June is very pretty this year.

Stone and green, a combination I like a lot. In other words, what is not to like in Derbyshire.

June. And the flowers are just keep on coming. So here’s a little flat lay to inspire you and invite you to come to the Daylesford Summer Festival at @daylesfordfarm where I’ll be doing flat lay demonstrations all day, you’ll find me at the maker’s barn and we can talk flat lays and photography and all things nice.

Surrounded by meadows and woodland, this must be the most perfectly situated garden (oh and the house too, of course) of National Trust. I stopped here on my way home from Derbyshire and after a National Trust volunteer recommended it to me when I told him I wanted to visit somewhere cosy (as opposed to Kedleston Hall, if you see what I mean) So voilà, more photos in stories.

Haddon Hall is one of my most favourite places to visit. I’m on a lengthy commission in Derbyshire so today I treated myself to this..

Slowly saying goodbye to the beautiful season of cow parsley. Many of you asked how I make them grow in the garden. It was never the plan, they just appeared, I’m sure it was just the wind that brought them in. And it looks like they are here to stay.

About to leave for Yorkshire so before I see the real thing, here’s some Yorkshire beauty from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.

Back home and the garden is wild. Lupin and cow parsley. Might not be a trendy combination but entirely created by nature at the back of our garden and I really like it. Tomorrow I’ll check out some really stunning gardens and plantings and just all the new trends, where else than at the Chelsea Flower Show.

My morning walks with Henry are what I really miss when I’m away for work (like shooting in Provence, just to say it’s not that bad and I know Henry does get his walk) Anyway, this morning we did have our long morning walk and as he gets older these walks slow down slightly but oh well, mornings are just my favourite time of any day of any month, I like them long.

After what it feels like a few days inside a Kafka novel, I’m finally back home. The garden is changing every day and at the moment I’m admiring the geraniums. My favourite must be the phaeum ‘lily lovell’ that I brought home from Orchard Dene.
