14th May visit to Pashley Manor Gardens

We were fortunate to be invited to join a tour of Pashley Manor Gardens

We assembled on the lawn in front of the Tudor house and were introduced to Pashley Manor Gardens by Mr James Sellick, the owner.

Tudor House built in the 1500's

The tour took us via the new visitor centre into the garden where we were fortunate to see the sculptures arranged around the garden for sculpture week which is running from the 16th to 28th May 2009. Some of the pictures we took are set out below:
