It’s the first week of Spring. I’m having “Downton Abbey” withdrawals. I’m sure you know by now it’s filmed at Highclere Castle in Newbury, England. But, did you know that it was also the location of my favorite film of all time—Hallmark Hall of Fame’s “The Secrect Garden?” Yes, it’s true…I’ve been dreaming of this castle & gardens since I was a little girl. Some photos of the gardens for a little mental vacation.
1. Hydrangea Annabelle in the White Border Garden
2. Highclere Castle Hedges by Adam Hodge
3. 18th Century Georgian wall on the border of the Monks’ garden
The real “secret” would be ….. how to reproduce this enchantment in my own backyard. Wouldn’t we all like to wake up each morning to these views!!!!!!!!!! Must be a little preview of Heaven!!!
