National Garden Scheme

We joined a lot of other grey-haired people to visit a spectacular garden at Bachie Uchaf in Llanfyllin, open to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme to raise money for charities. 

This arid bank's ground cover was pretty amazing

There always seems to be a monkey puzzle tree (from Chile and Argentina) as a feature in older gardens. they are now critically endangered in their native habitat.

Ooh, I think I spy someone without grey hair from the terrace

One of the water features came down a very steep bank, so the water flow was very active and dramatic. But where are the aquatic plants?

There are 60 gardens open to the public in the county of Powys for the summer
