Savill Gardens (LS) : "Savill Gardens"

The Savill Garden covers approximately 35 acres and dates from 1932 when it was started by Eric Savill, Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park, with the support of King George V and Queen Mary. With the intervention of the war, the garden could not be completed until the early 1950s. It is said that immediately following the war Eric Savill used bricks from bombed houses in the East End of London to create the Walled Garden.

Originally known as The Bog Garden, George VI asked that it be renamed in honour of Eric Savill in 1951. Eric Savill was knighted in 1955. The area is ideally suited to the cultivation of rhododendrons and azaleas and so is at its best in April and May, but development over the years ensures interest all year round and the garden is now considered one of the finest woodland gardens anywhere in the world, containing a great number of rare specimens. In addition large herbaceous borders, a rose garden, peat beds, wall garden and bog garden combine to offer a wealth of interest to the visitor.

By the entrance you can immediately see laid out ahead the broad slopes running down to the stream and lake, with woodland beyond. Pathways reach out in all directions, many designed for wheelchair access, making for a delightful couple of hours exploring the various areas around the garden.

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 2007 : Most of the photos were taken in the public garden at Roozengarde outside of Mt. Vernon, WA. The light was great this year.  Lots of shade from all of the trees and a nice sunny day.

WaterFalls : I'm partial to Waterfalls... so I'm creating a subject category for them. Multnomah Falls images are in the Columbia Gorge Album in the Central Oregon area category. Eventually I will add these 'by Subject' Titles as Keywords to the Area Photos, so that you can do a search by Keyword to bring them all together for viewing.
