A professional’s eye
We all know how it is when we’re so close to something that we don’t really see it as others do. So it was a great pleasure last week to welcome professional photographer Jonathan Need to our garden.
Jonathan seemed instantly to understand the philosophy behind the garden and the planting and has very kindly sent us a wonderful selection of his morning’s shoot. We’ll split the shots into two blogs; this first one featuring the garden as a garden; the second some fantastic close-ups of individual flowers.
Here’s just a few of the pictures which I’ll let speak for themselves.

…and yes we do, occasionally, get to sit and enjoy a cuppa!
You can see more of Jonathan’s stunning photos on his website and hopefully in print somewhere in the future.
