Spring Photos at Eastcote House

We had the first day of summer yesterday, so I thought that I would share several photos of Eastcote House and Gardens throughout the spring. I have found that (so far), Eastcote House Gardens looks the most beautiful in the spring. Early to mid-April was probably my personal favourite time that I have seen the gardens looking their best with tulips and blossom. However, every time that I visit the gardens, there is always something new to see.

In mid-March, I had a wander from Eastcote House Gardens along the River Pinn to Pinner. The weather was glorious, and it was one of the first sunny and warm days of the year after a spate of weeks of cool and wet weather. I walked down the High Street in Pinner and stopped a Foodie Wuwdies for lunch and enjoyed the weather in Pinner Memorial Park where there is a museum and nice park with a pond and aviary. Someone was playing the guitar and singing "Beatles" songs here. It was a lovely atmosphere, and it was in the middle of the third lockdown.

In late March, I enjoyed seeing hundreds of tiny yellow daffodils. I had previously written about the larger daffodils, crocuses, and other early spring flowers. The smaller variety seemed to emerge later, so the garden was covered in yellow and purple.

Early April brought the first tulips and blossoms.

A week or two later in mid-April, and the sunshine made all the difference with the garden view and unleashing more beautiful blooms. This was my favourite visit.

At the end of April, the tulips were just passed their prime but still looking lovely. Later types of tulips (purple ones) started to emerge too, and the bluebells were beginning to crop up.

In early May, the tulips were mainly gone, and the garden seemed to be in a state of refresh with some blooms ready to emerge and different colours starting to show. Irises were the primary flowers in bloom.

Here's some photographs taken in late May with the iris flowers and wisteria in bloom.

In mid-June, different iris flowers were in bloom, and the wisteria was almost over. Roses were appearing as well as lavender, and the gardens were looking especially green and lush.
