16th July - Greenacres, Holbrook, Belper
This month we had our self drive to Greenacres at Holbrook, Belper. It was another warm and sunny day.
The large garden has wonderful uninterrupted countryside views over the Amber Valley. Apart from the shrubs, trees and borders there is an established pool and rockery with colourful patio plants and pots, a sweeping lawn and lots of seating providing a peaceful chill out area to enjoy our drinks and homemade cakes. We were allowed to sit inside looking out at the scenic view, the very large bifold doors being open.
Now we look forward to our next event, the garden party at Val and Trev's.
