XExif II* . ( 1 2 ; * i D b < b>Waddesdon Manor Gardens, Buckinghamshire, UK:
This immaculate Victorian garden, surrounding a Renaissance style chateau, is considered to be one of the finest in England. The gardens are home to outstanding seasonal displays of bedding plants - which were much loved by the Victorians.
Bedding plant schemes on this scale require an enormous amount of work and the displays are maintained to the highest standards by a dedicated team of National Trust gardeners.
Waddesdon has been described as 'The Jewel in the Crown of the National Trust'. The formal gardens contain the highest quality bedding plant displays I have ever seen, anywhere! There is a splendid parterre, grand fountains, statuary surrounded by flowers and an ornate Victorian aviary (beautifully restored a few years ago) in the grounds.
Details
There are usually two completely different floral displays each year. One display peaks in spring (e.g. tulips or wall flowers) and the other peaks at the height of the summer season (e.g. traditional bedding plants). Both these bedding plant schemes, which are changed every year, are equally impressive. The photos in this set were taken over several years and reflect these changes.
