Discovering the lush subtropical plantings of the Logan Botanic Garden warmed by the Gulf Stream in the Rhins of Galloway of south-western Scotland. Immaculately tended beds and woodland (with labels) as you would expect at a Royal Botanic Garden, but with sympathetic layouts and vistas that are aesthetically satisfying as well as botanically informative. The show glasshouse is heated by an air source heat pump and solar energy.

We arrived as a summer storm was building on Mont Blanc, the waterfalls gathered volume as we sheltered from the torrential rain. The cloud lingered next morning.
Fresh paint on the beach huts at Seaford, Sussex. Not many being used though.
Roses and the people enjoying them in Regent’s Park rose gardens. I’ve tried to feature roses in the old style, which Chris tells me are more fragrant and resilient than modern classes.
