East Ruston Old Vicarage
"Saxman" wrote I am thinking of visiting East Ruston Old Vicarage, Norfolk next year with several others. Has anybody any opinions of the gardens? Yes, I went there about three years ago in late summer and enjoyed my visit. I keep meaning to pay a return trip earlier in the season, and they've apparently been developing new areas since I went so it's probably even better now. It's a bit off the beaten track iirc, so check out the directions and take a good map. :-) There was certainly a lot to see, but two areas that have particularly stuck in my memory are a little walled courtyard at the entrance where they had some large purple Aeoniums planted out that apparently live outside all year, and the colourful 'desert wash' garden. They also had a plant sales area which I remember as having some less usual varieties at very reasonable prices. I think it's definitely worth a visit - there are some good pictures on the website at www.e-ruston-oldvicaragegardens.co.uk/ . Alan Gray, one of the owners, also writes an informative gardening page for the local Eastern Daily Press weekend mag which I always enjoy reading. -- Sue |
