Magnolia @ Nymans NT West Sussex by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Magnolia trees in the UK are iconic early spring performers, generally blooming between March and May, with some varieties starting in February. They are famous for large, dramatic white, pink, or purple flowers that often appear on bare branches before leaves emerge.Pink and white magnolias add pastel shades to Nymans in spring.
Nymans, West Sussex, June 2024.
John Sales VMH, gardener (May 1, 1933 - December 29, 2022)
For 25 years, from 1973-98, he was in charge of the National Trust’s parks and gardens, at a time when the nation embraced garden visiting on a scale never seen before.
Donald Sales’s time as head of gardens left the trust with the healthiest, best managed, historically and stylistically most diverse portfolio of gardens the world may ever know.

With everything going on in the world I often find myself longing for peace, quiet, and solace in the garden. And as much I like flowers, I noticed, I sometimes feel more comforted by gardens that are predominantly comprised of shades of green. Some of you may say that green gardens are boring but I feel that certainly does not need to be the case. This scene from Nymans Gardens (I took the photo a few years ago), located in West Sussex, England is a good example. The contrast between the formal over-the-top topiaries and the beautiful classic fountain and the informal natural tall trees surrounding them creates a lot of tension and variety that the eye and the mind is entertained by but yet the overall effect is still very calming. What do you think of this garden scene in particular and green gardens in general? . . . #nymans #nyman #nymansgardens #westsussex #england #greengarden #greengardens #publicgardens #nationaltrust #gardendesign #topiary #topiaries #gardening #garden #gardens #fountain #classicfountain #peace #solace #quiet #englishgarden #englishgardens (at Nymans Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVn-87gocY/?igshid=mfh0vsufw57g
