Our charity garden visit was to Naworth Castle, Brampton; the ancestral home of Philip Howard. Again the weather was perfect. Philip's garden has been redesigned by Tom Stuart-Smith.

The eighteenth century garden now has a kitchen garden, a wild flower meadow and cutting garden. Here the planting represents the union of the English and Scottish flags (reflecting a time far removed from Edward I holding court at Lanercost).
We raised £1,000 for Hospice at Home
(£700 from members that was generously topped up by £300 by Philip)
Pimms and canapés were served in the great hall, where some of Philips's taxidermy collection is on display.
So many thanks for our visit Philip.
