Glorious gardens: Canterbury, Rye, Winchelsea

Views of one of the front gardens in the cathedral close at Canterbury.

For contrast, the final view in the slide show is looking over the wall to the National Trust allotments at Winchelsea.

Glorious gardens: Canterbury, Rye, Winchelsea

This is one of the gardens on the square of streets around the old parish church at Rye.

Handkerchief tree, spurge, rose, alkanet: garden, Winchelsea

Here, from Winchelsea again, is not so much a front garden as plantings in a narrow strip of soil between a high garden wall and the road. In the narrow strip there’s variety from spurges, roses and alkanets, all topped off with a handkerchief tree joining the ensemble from the other side of the wall.
