GBMD: All Gardening Is...


I found William Kent's quote whilst visiting Beningbrough Hall last month. There was an interesting exhibition about landscape styles and designers using scenes from various National Trust gardens to illustrate them. Beningbrough's entry on the National Trust's website says:

The exhibition pairs contemporary landscape photography with portraits of 18th-century landscape designers. In partnership with the National Portrait Gallery.

If you go there you get to see that well known portrait of Capability Brown for real.

The exhibition continues until January 2013 and the Trust's partnership with the National Portrait Gallery was responsible for my recent Greetings From Yorkshire. Beningbrough also has its own blog :)

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! I love reading your comments and thoughts about my blog :)

If anyone is having problems leaving comments, you can contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you. That way I can get things sorted.

Thanks xxx

My general policy re comments

I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.

Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
