The legend of @Colstoun House centres on a โmagic pearโ given by the wizard Hugo de Giffard to the Broun family in the 13th century, which was said to bring prosperity if kept intact but bring misfortune to the male heirs if it was damaged. A wilful bride later bit a piece from the pear, and shortly after, three brothers were drowned in the river, supposedly due to the damage to the pear. The legendary pear is still preserved by the family and is believed to continue bringing prosperity.โ
โ
Pears are grown throughout the walled garden, along with apples in the orchard, while bees work hard to make honey, and a mixture of fruit and vegetables are grown in the pollytunnel. โ

I was graced with another opportunity to stay at the wonderful @Colstoun House over summer. This being my fourth time there, I have now visited in all of the seasons. โโ
โโ
My time was spent photographing and volunteer gardening in the Walled Garden section where Lyn and the team of Wwoofers had been doing a great job of de weeding and harvesting. The weeds are thrown in to the aisles in between planters which can then be cut along with the grass. The harvested organic fruit and veg was used to feed us hungry volunteers, and to make items to sell in their farm shop. โโ
โโ
I will be sharing a few posts showcasing the lovely, functional garden. โโ

POPPY ๐ฟ
Poppies are widely cultivated as annual or perennial ornamental plants. A few species have other uses, principally as sources of drugs and foods.
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death. In Greek and Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead.

Inheriting green fingers from my Nan, Mum and Grandad โ alongside a growing, (pun intended) sense of stoicism and reverence for the natural world โ Iโm pivoting my photography practice to focus on Garden Photography.โโโโโ
โโโโโ
I want to capture how beauty reveals itself in everyday outdoor spaces โ and how others tend, shape, and share that beauty within their boundaries.โโโโโ
โโโโโ
This shift has been quietly germinating for a while, but took root more fully after reading โLosing Edenโ by @lucyfjones .โโโโโ
