I am still in the UK this Tuesday – so before you start wondering, this week’s view is a little different!
The red plant in the centre is, I believe, the beautiful Lobelia cardinalis that Frank featured in his post last Thursday. The plants at the back of this border must be almost three metres tall!
The Lobelia is in this border too…
These photos were taken on Monday at Coton Manor Gardens in Northamptonshire – a stone’s throw from my parents’ home.
The borders are beautifully kept and I always think they look fabulous in late summer. (The Spring gardens are, however, also quite lovely.)
Some of the planting combinations in this traditional English garden are just stunning. Look at this pale orange Dahlia, pink Echinacea, and the purple Asters behind.
If you would like to join me in sharing a single view of your garden each week to follow the changes across the seasons, please leave a link in the comments below so we can all take pleasure in it. I will be back to my familiar view next week, where my rockery may just possibly be showing some signs of stress as a heatwave continues for the second week in Bavaria.
Have a good week everyone!
Such a beautiful garden!
It certainly is. It looks good any time of year!
Thanks for the travelogue. Have a safe and delightful trip.
Thank you John!
What a beautiful place!
It is lovely there Alys. Not a big famous garden, but certainly worth a visit. The bluebell wood there in Spring is stunning. 🙂
Fabulous garden. The English really know how to make a border!
They do, don’t they! There were some lovely dahlias and cosmos all over the place, mixed in with perennials. Loads of butterflies too! 🙂
Great garden views! Hope you have a nice visit.
Thank you Marian. The setting of this garden is lovely, with views across the surrounding countryside. 🙂
The vibrant color in an English garden makes me think of an artist’s landscape. Just beautiful. I just loved the bench sitting out there in that great expanse of lawn. And echinacea is one of my very favorite flowers! I really enjoyed your Tuesday view from the UK, and enjoy every drop before you return home. 🙂
Thanks Debra! There were plenty of benches scattered throughout the garden just inviting you to sit and admire it all! 🙂
Orange, pink, purple is a funny combination! Enjoy your stay!
Thanks Uta. I really loved those colours together!
Me too!
Oh, that is such a lovely garden Cathy. My garden is all brown now.
I suspect mine will also be shrivelling and browning to a crisp, but the English climate is just ideal for gardening!
Very beautiful and I love that combination too. enjoy your uk visit. I will join you next week as I feel I have little to remark upon this week.
Thanks Dorris. Look forward to seeing your view next week, as it will be September already. 🙂
We recently spent a long weekend visiting Northamptonshire for the first time, it is a beautiful area.
There are some lovely spots around in Northants, Brian. I do love the countryside here. 🙂
Great photos, I really appreciate the rich garden colors this time of year, the time that is after summer, and before fall.
Hi Charlie. Yes, late summer colours are a lovely mix of pastels and golden tones. 🙂
Thanks for those great photos, Cathy! My TV is here: http://timpingradina.blogspot.ro/2016/08/the-tuesday-view-30th-august-2016.html
Thanks Anca. Glad you could join me again!
What a gorgeous English garden. Makes me dream about a vacation in England. I hope you have a great time.
Thank you Simone! We are having lovely weather here. 🙂

Stunning gardens and it seems that you have been blessed with lovely weather for your visit…how nice.
Late August is usually nice and warm and sunny in England, and this year was no exception! 🙂
Such a lovely garden Cathy – hope you are enjoying your holiday in England. We are in Florida right now – such a shame – it would have been lovely to meet up – hopefully another time.
Hello Julie, hope your weather is calm – heard of a storm near the Florida coast last week. I was so lucky with the weather in the UK, but it is nice to be home catching up with my own garden now! 😉 My visits are usually fairly brief, but if I spend a longer time in the UK one day I will certainly try and meet up with some of my blogging friends!
lots of beautiful plants, but alas the summer is ending and plants will soon go dormant, wish I could go dormant to till spring, lol.
Yes, hibernate like the garden creatures in a nice warm compost heap! LOL!
