A Visit to Glenwhan Gardens

A superb visit today to Glenwhan Gardens near Stranraer and special thanks to Mike Tinker for telling me about them. They are not nearly as popular as Logan Botanical Gardens but they are just as good and probably better at this time of the year. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed lots of seats in sheltered and quiet parts of the garden. My only disappointment was the lack of wildfowl and ducks etc on the many ponds there. We never saw a single one despite there being such a lot of perfect habitat. 


A perfect habitat for wildfowl but not one to be seen. Maybe its not perfect or else they are all sitting on nests somewhere about there. 
Azaleas at their very best.

Gaye does enjoy a restful seat in the gardens.

Bluebells never seem to show up as well on the photo as they are in real life. Its something to do with photography and the colour blue.
Another large expanse of water and no birds in sight.


Thes Waler Lillies will be beautiful later in the year.

The final seat of the day.
