Surrounded by busy roads in the heart of Norwich, walking into The Plantation Garden feels like how I imagine finding an oasis in the desert would be.
The first time I visited in the autumn I was left speechless, which, as Mark will tell you, doesn’t happen very often. I didn’t think that wow moment could be repeated after the first time but then I went back yesterday… and wow. Just, wow.
There was colour everywhere and it’s was so vivid, even on a dull, cloudy day – my photos really don’t do the garden justice. If you’re anywhere near Norwich please go and enjoy it while it lasts.
My parents came with Freya and I for their first visit yesterday (after I saw some beautiful photos on Instagram and suggested we go) and they were amazed too.
It’s nice visiting with them because they are gardeners and can tell me the names of various plants. Freya also enjoys it because you can climb to the top and then walk around the outside along dark paths which she thinks is a bit like being in the jungle.
I’ve included this final one because I think it’s funny. I was supposed to be taking a photo of my parents and Freya for the family album but then I realised how lovely the tulips were and got distracted.
It’s that sort of place.

Beautiful.
Well you can still see them, if you squint. 😆

Not by choice. I stay up far too late and then just recently I keep waking at 4.30/5. It’s super annoying but I guess it offers me extra time for blog reading so isn’t all bad. 😀

Oh no! It’s been really light the last few days too. Even with black out blind.

Wow, this looks like a beautiful garden. There is a pretty formal garden not too far from where I live (Wisconsin, USA), but I’ve only been there once to take maternity pictures. I should take my son this summer.

I hope you get to re-visit that garden. Freya loves exploring The Plantation Garden. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
