Hatfield House, The East Garden P.2

Private Gardens at Hatfield House, 

Hertfordshire.



Just a little intro here. 

Hatfield House
 is a huge privately owned Garden. 

It is set in a fabulous 

setting and has many different gardens 

within it. 




Please follow with me my journey 

of this garden space. 






Bees are part of our 

natural world. 

We must care for them.

This is as close
as I could get!

My second visit to The East Garden. 

The more you visit it the more you see.

It is so cleverly designed. The views around

 each corner have an element of surprise.

Let me give you a little insight into this 

amazing Garden. 

A piece of Eden.

Beauty is a bee
in the stamen of a rose

It feels like summer is at long last with us! 

So it must be June. 

I have seen lots of bees
around which is great news

considering they are in decline. 





They just love open petaled 

flowers to get
inside to collect the pollen. 

Such ingenious insects.

So do remember this when 

choosing plants for bees.

 

Rolling landscape

over the maze

 

Green is so calming 

and peaceful on the eye.

The maze here is a really cool feature. 

It seems that it is not
accessible to the public but 

looks so intriging.

Love the red of the beech in the middle
 of hedge don't you?




This hedge surrounds a wild life field
full of margiretes.

It is huge and beautifully clipped.

Beauty is the art
of clipped hedging 

Don't you just love the workmanship 

of this hedging?

So artfully created. This walkway makes 

a real statement for
a Stately Home.

Here you walk from 'room' to 'room'. 

You are taken on a journey of discovery. 

Everything is 

in its right place and wherever you 

stand 

or look it is all in proportion.

This is part of a central
Rose Garden in the 'East Garden'

Topiary is so fabulous in the right setting. 

The dark green of the Yew against

the blue sky. 

It is a real skill and a work of art. 
It takes hours to perfect.

It works perfectly in this setting.

Think of the hours of dedication to perfect it.

I feel this works really well here

 in this setting as it is not over the top 

but it is tastefully fitting.

I spoke to one of the Gardeners 

who recently started working here and he

said he felt it such a fabulous place to work in.

Splendid Gateway
 at end of Garden

I love the way you walk through 

wide grassy walkways and have no idea
what you will come upon next.

I love secret doorways
 don't you?

Grand architecture fits 

perfectly in this setting.

I love old swimming pools
and the green water.

All this in one Garden. 

It is pretty amazing and 

well it is something a bit unique.
