Although I did read Wordsworth as Woolworth... Pick and mix gardens could be the next big thing! Great shot, want that rock for my excuse for a garden.

Thanks FWR - it is a beautiful place indeed

I like the idea of pic n mix gardens! Although, coincidentally enough, I enjoyed filling a plantpot with a variety of bulbs earlier this month at a garden centre so that's not far off! I look forward to seeing them grow in Spring

That rock is awesome - reminds me almost of a Dolmen, which links in with the mystique of standing stones and 'thoughts of more deep seclusion' indeed

I love botanic gardens! I've not heard of this one, in the Wirral. Are there hot houses there also?

Its great the way the mysterious rock is right in the front of the picture. It really is a focus. Yes, like a Dolmen!

I can smell that lovely vegetation. The smell of green.

Great piccie SashaQ!

I miss the logo, the writing on the shop front, when department stores close down.

Woolworths, BHS, Bobbys.

Bobbys department store. Now there's a memory.

Realy nice composition gardens in sunlight can be difficult, this is just right beautiful

Thanks cc

Yes, there are a couple of small hothouses, with cacti and carnivorous plants in. They're not often open, though, sadly. The Alpine House is a cool greenhouse, and that is always open, so I like it in there - the tiny alpine plants are fascinating
