I never really had a green thumb. The closest that I've come to being any kind of grower was planting and harvesting a crop of pechay during Gardening class in 3rd year high school. However, seeing my first ever English garden last Easter Monday made me appreciate the huge effort put into creating a place that is beautiful and calm. As our friend Monette would say, it was like walking into an impressionist painting. Although the Easter Bunny (more about this later) told us that the best time to visit was in May, Exbury Gardens in Hampshire still had a very nice display of spring flowers.
The place also had a mini steam train that tours the area. It being Easter, Exbury had a staff dressed as a white bunny wait in one of the train stops to give out chocolate eggs to visitors. Guess what, she's Filipino! Hahaha. She was the one who said that our visit was a bit early and that the best blooms are yet to come.
Here's some of our pics from the trip.
