Stunning Beauty of Levens Hall Garden, UK [9 Pics]
Jul 11 2012
Designed by a pupil of le Notre (the designer of the gardens at Versailles, France) this has got to be one of the coolest gardens we have seen in a while. The gardens are dated back all the way to 1694, just after Colonel James Grahme acquired the property after his service in the military for King James II.
The estate originally started out as a pele tower (a signal tower in the medieval ages – to warn of fore-coming dangers). Photo by Brian Clift.
Guillaume Beaumont was the young gardener that transformed the gardens into what they are now hundreds of years ago. Photo by Matt Ots.
The garden is meticulously cared for on a day-to-day basis by workers. Photo by (c)Kaa@Flickr.
The garden incorporates an orchard of apple trees and medlars, a nuttery, a herb garden and a beautiful rose garden. Photo by Maureen Elizabeth Rush.

Beautiful Flower Garden With Hanging Flowers

Some say that the extremely overpowering smell of flowers makes it almost impossible to sit on that bench for even as little as 15 minutes, without getting dizzy! Location: “Wisteria Tunnel” from Japan's Kawachi Fuji Garden.
