Foggy Bottom in 2016

Foggy Bottom at 50!

What’s in a name? Where did the name Foggy Bottom come from? It’s a bit more of a story than you might think! Adrian tells the story in the early chapters of one of his early books; ‘I first came across the name Foggy Bottom when working on a nursery in the USA in 1959 […]

A bridge over troubled water? Doesn’t look very troubled to me…

A bridge too far? Not unless you live hundreds of miles from Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk!

Once in the gardens, follow the Foggy Bottom trail to the Foggy Bottom Garden and you’ll come to the bridge. If you haven’t been, you are in for a great (and this late in the year, a very enjoyable) surprise!

You can see how this got its name 'Bright Eyes'! This is the first year the nursery has been able to offer this plant, Crocosmia ‘Walberton Bright Eyes’, which always attracts attention in Foggy Bottom. It was raised by the late David Tristram, who introduced some other first class plants too. You can buy it online from our plant shop here: https://www.thebressinghamgardens.com/shop/perennial/crocosmia-walberton-bright-eyes/ ... See MoreSee Less

Bressingham Gardens is getting high tech? Well, not exactly, but using QR codes has been planned by us for some time. When visitors see something looking fantastic in the gardens, they can use the QR code on their smartphone and it takes them straight to the Bressingham Gardens Nursery online shop where, if they wish, they can place an order for the subject and other items. At this time of year delivery from our nursery is normally within 10 days.

Sounds good? Well this is really just a trial, and if successful we could widen the range of plants pictured with a QR code.

Come and visit us and see the QR code notices ... and make sure not to miss the gardens! ... See MoreSee Less

Now is the peak of colour in Alan Bloom’s Dell Garden at The Bressingham Gardens. At this time of year, plants from South Africa and North America compete for vibrancy. In the foreground are the pale blue Agapanthus and scarlet-flowered Crocosmia, both bred in Britain but originating from South Africa. The bright yellow Coreopsis in the foreground is known as 'tickseed' which shouldn’t put you off … If you'd like to come and see the gardens for yourself, go to our website for info on booking a visit www.thebressinghamgardens.com ...
