Woolbeding Garden, 2022

I've looked at the two posts from Woolbeding I did in 2016--https://roadeveron.blogspot.com/2016/05/woolbeding-1.html and https://roadeveron.blogspot.com/2016/05/woolbeding-2.html--and, with just a couple exceptions, don't have anything better to add. It is, as I said, an extraordinary contemporary gardener's garden. I would add that the little parish church is the oldest thing there--mentioned in the 1085 Domesday Book--and that the thing I called a "rootery" is actually a "stumpery," something we've since seen elsewhere on a couple occasions. 

In 2016, Woolbeding did not have its kinetic Glasshouse, an octagonal sort of pyramidal glass house that opens out, flower-like, more or less daily. Below are a few pix, closed, the interior, and open. And, if Google and the local wifi cooperate, a stunning 5 minute video...
