This is part two of my Sark posts. Here is part one.
La Seigneurie Gardens on Sark are in the grounds of the mansion of the same name. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1675. Over the years, additions have added to the building. According to the La Seigneurie website, the formal gardens were planted on land purchased in the 19th century. Each year there are new additions such as the maze hedge in 1991 and the vegetable garden is evolving since the produce is used in the tearooms/restaurant.
We navigated the horse and cart park and the tractors to get to the gardens.

I love the vibrant blue of cornflowers. So pretty!
This photo reminds me of a painting. I had a ball taking flower photos.
The local characters said hello.
After wandering around, we had a cup of tea to warm up in the garden tearooms before we headed to the meeting point to catch our ferry back to Guernsey.

If you ever get a chance to visit Sark, I say grab the opportunity. It’s a fun place to unwind and switch off from the daily rat race, and for the keen photographer, there is heaps of inspiration. Highly recommended.
Wow, beautiful pictures. Loved the flowers. Looks like you had a good time.
We did, Mary, despite the chilly weather.
Beautiful pictures! I need flowers. We have so much snow right now! LOL
