Originally marshland, but in the 1920´s millionaire philanthropist Sir James Knott turned the area into a unique plant collection and botanical gardens. The Botanical Gardens at Samarès, just outside Saint Helier, the capital of Jersey. It is late September and I was afraid we were too late to enjoy a blooming garden. But I was wrong. Here we found flowers ands colours and beauty everywhere.
Even a few magnolias, huge ones, were in bloom.
We did a beautiful and very interesting guided tour of the Samarès Manor (no photographing allowed) but before and after we walked the garden.
Zinnias in different colours,
cosmos and a lot more.
We were lucky. The sun was out and made photographing a game.
Next summer I plan to grow cosmos in every colour available, in my garden. And zinnias.
And a lot more.
