I didn’t realize until I downloaded these photos that I hadn’t been to Lewis Ginter in four years! I walked around it briefly last year after a work retreat, but I didn’t stay long because it was too hot and not much was blooming.

Not the case this time! I took half a day off on a low-temp, low-humidity day in early June. I took a different path than I normally do when I go to the gardens. I normally head straight for the conservatory and move around clockwise. I decided to save the conservatory for last and headed counterclockwise.
