English Country Life by Victorian Garden


The English Country Life - interesting and worth while reading.

Victorian Garden

“The Exquisite Cotswolds

Pictures of my aunt's English Country House and Garden in the heart of England's beautiful Gloucestershire.


Here you see a very typical ancient English country garden with wonderful bright flowers, herbs, lavenders and crystal clear stream meandering through the village of Upper Slaughter near Cheltenham. A haven for birds, bees and butterflies. Houses in this area date back to the 16 th century and beyond. One house, pictured below, in a village close to my aunt's house, was bought by King Henry VIII as a gift for his much beloved and favourite first wife, Katherine of Aragon during the 1500's.

Victorian Garden


I once again had to share more news on the Victorian Garden and what they had to offer.  Not just fantastic organic products but such an interesting website and fantastic content.

HILARIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS FROM the 1920's
