This is
one of the “National Garden Scheme” gardens. Feeringbury Manor is located a couple of
miles outside Coggeshall, Essex. This is a “10-acre garden with two ponds and alongside the River
Blackwater. Jewelled lawn in early April then spectacular tulips and blossom
lead on to a huge number of different and colourful plants, many unusual,
culminating in a purple explosion of michaelmas daisies in Sept.”
By
visiting on a week day, we almost had this beautiful garden to ourselves. From
the point of view of photography, it has everything, ponds, river Blackwater at
the end of the garden, sculptures, wildlife, formal gardens with wild
flower areas.
There was so much there I am splitting this post into two. Part two can be seen here.
