La Foce.
Another much anticipated garden. This one is very precious about visitors. You can only visit on Wednesday afternoons and only on hourly guided tours, god knows what damage hordes rowdy garden visitors would do, let in on their own?????.
Designed by English architect Cecil Pinsent in the 20s and 30s it is a real treasure. Set in an amazing and unique environment it was home to writer Iris Origo for may years. Our brief and edited tour of the garden was over all too soon but what a special place this is.
with all these gardens you have seen, will 33a resemble one of these when you come home all inspired, and will we only be allowed to visit on set days and times!!!

Ha ha Fi.
ReplyDeleteThat is it. Now that they have Mellors the Gardner all primed up, we are only going to be allowed in on prepaid tickets at allocated times, and even then we won't be allowed to walk on the grass!
It is all looking a bit formal and clipped (the garden above, not 33a!) and never mind being a bit baroqued out, I am also a bit gardened out!!
