It was on the Monday of our week in the Lake District that I was joined by Alison's sister to visit the gardens of the Lakeland Horticultural Society off Patterdale Road, Windermere. We had been there before a couple of times but never this late in the season. I was expecting little colour at this time of year but how wrong that turned out to be. Starting with some Asters and Rudbeckia.
The Dahlias were very impressive.
As were the Alstroemeria.
There is also a huge area where the Hydrangeas are still in bloom.
We had lunch sitting on a bench with this great view of Windermere and the surrounding fells.
There is also a metal sign showing some of the fells in the distance.
The last area we saw took us on a high path up to the rock garden and what are described as fell borders. Again we were lucky with weather with enough sun at times to show the gardens at their best.
