Nymans Gardens

Nymans is quite an interesting garden connected with many of the great plant collectors. Today owned by the National Trust it has extensive collections of Asian flora and is a garden I shall return again to photograph many of the plants (half hour drive from the house).
The dovecote on the the remaining side of the house that was not burnt during the fire.
The remains of the original house were never re-built by the family, although half of the house was saved and was still used by the extended family.
Leonard Messel ws one of the owners of Nymans, you may recognise his name in Canada attached to Magnolia 'Leonard Messel' which was bred here.
