We are always in search of new plants for the garden and needed a few to fill in some of the gaps in the border along the terrace – a strip we refer to as the “Trench” given that’s how it started. We have been to Bonsall a few times, stopped and talked, seen gardens, but never been to the plant centre there until now. Oh, what a treat! How did we manage to miss that? It is jam packed with perennials of all sorts – foxgloves, many geraniums we haven’t got (umm, now have), several thalictrum varieties, clematis and loads and loads more. A cottage gardener’s delight, reasonably priced, great looking plants that appear very well looked after, hardy (the nursery is at 900 feet above sea level and not well sheltered) and with a tremendous view across the valley.

Over the weekend of 13th/14th June the Derbyshire village of Bonsall opened up nearly two dozen of its private gardens for charity. Bonsall is situated at the edge of the Peak District, close to Matlock and Cromford, and stretches from a junction with the A5012 Via Gellia road, up a long and sometimes steep hill to Upper Town which tops out at around 900 feet above sea level providing really excellent views back down into the Derwent Valley.
