Loseley Park

I visited Loseley Park in Surrey England the other day. It really has the most delightfully manicured gardens I have seen for a long time. Just look at those lawn edges in the vegetable garden and the beautiful patchwork of lettuces!!

There were also poppies in abundance around the vegetable plots. I imagine these are useful as well as pretty, encouraging bees to come and pollinate the various vegetable flowers. This will be particularly important when the flowers of the runner and broad beans need to "set."
