15th May – Breezy Knees Gardens, Yorkshire
Today we visited Breezy Knees Gardens just north of York, which was recommended to us by one of our garden group members.
Following a very good journey we arrived to a chilly garden, but we entered and discovered an amazingly well designed area full of beautiful trees , shrubs, beds, and borders leading into each other from winding, flowing paths containing sculptures, a water feature and lake. Many of the sculptures were done with a humorous note.
It was both fascinating and beautiful and covers 20 acres. A small tea rooms provided delicious homemade quiches, sandwiches, soup and cakes.
All in all a very interesting and enjoyable day.
