I have invested in a yearly pass to Haddon Hall during 2017.

Judging from my first two visits, this is going to be the best value for money for anything I purchase this year.

I visited the garden extensively in the early 90s and considered it to be the most beautiful garden I ever saw.

There was a huge gap before I visited again but upon return I realise how much my visits to Haddon Hall influenced the three gardens I have tended since my early visits then, using climbing plants, green textures and purples/green/white planting schemes.

Here are some of my favourite pictures from 2017 visits:
