Second Garden Visit of 2016

The rain held off enough for us to enjoy the garden of Sue Griffiths, a wonderfully tranquil space and haven for wildlife in the centre of busy Headingley.

 

 

 There are lots of roses, many of them scented, planted with perennials

 This pergola is planted up with various climbers including honeysuckle and wisteria

 The silver leaves are, in fact, a garden sculpture

 This is the pond, full of tadpoles

 Members enjoying a cup of tea in the garden room where examples of Sue's artwork can be found on the walls

 Also this weekend, Friday Forum member Norma and two of her neighbours held a “Coffee in the Garden” event for Alzheimer’s Research Trust.
