21st May – Felly Priory Gardens

We had a fantastic visit today to Felly Priory Gardens, it is situated in north Nottinghamshire hidden half a mile off of the M1. It is a tranquil garden with many rare and unusual plants with the house and garden nestled in beautiful rolling countryside and the nursery is stocked with many of the plants you can find in the gardens. The Priory of Felly was founded in 1156 on the site of a small hermitage.
