| Photo © Copyright Paul Farmer This is a before picture of the Italian Garden at Easton Lodge in Essex, England. I absolutely love this. They have restored it since this photo was taken and it's a little too pristine now for my taste. I liked this less formal, slightly unkempt version, more English than Italian. See the update here The Forgotten Gardens of Easton Lodge. |

| Photo © Copyright Peter Barr Plas yn Rhiw, Gwynedd, Wales This is a 17th century manor house. Both house and gardens were restored in the first half of the 20th century. It has an interesting history and the house is presumably haunted. |

| Photo © Copyright Derek Harper Coleton Fishacre Garden is situated by the sea at Pudcombe Cove. The gulf stream brings a semi-tropical climate which allows for many plants that won't grow in the north of England. I love this garden. The forms and colors of the foliage make it especially beautiful ... even with the absence of flowers. |

These are all lovely examples of a romantic garden.I hope the e-book writing is going well.
It is as I'm fairly on target. Love your own blog by the way.
Any one of these would brighten a dreary day, but to have them all together is heavenly to see. Loads of inspiration here!
Glad you think so, HolleyGarden (is that your name?). I hoped the collection would inspire.
Thanks for the beautiful images. I love romantic gardens most of all, and these are inspirational. The gothic arch beckons me in! And thanks for visiting and commenting on my own blog. I look forward to exploring yours further!
I'm a huge fan of ruins, follies and Gothic arches. Your blog is very educational Deb.
Thank you for sharing these lovely gardens with us, Lorraine. Out of all these beautiful gardens, Coleton Fishacre is my favorite with its seaside perch. All the best! :-)
I really love that one too. I love them all, but that garden is so cozy and private. Cheers, Beth!
