Bob Macadie's Pictures of Shipley Gardens

Wye Valley Shipley Garden Landscape

Shipley Gardens surround a 17th century Wye Valley Homestead standing upon the site of previous dwellings that since Roman times have administered the adjacent ford and former ferry. All the trees within the photo have been planted during the last 40 years by the Author, Photographer & Landscape Architect - Bob Macadie,& are set within 30 acres of mixed environmental habitats as a magical structure of garden rooms moulded into the base of the escarpment next to the flood plain of the valley floor. http://www.herefordshiregardens.co.uk/draft/index.aspx

Willow Herb & Echinops

“At my home in the Herefordshire Wye Valley Shipley Gardens , I grow the tall wild pink Rose Bay Willow Herb of rough ground (Epilobium angustifoliun) intermingled with the tall white Golf ball heads of (Echinops sphaerocephalus). Both self seed. As the Golf balls turn white and commence to attract insects, they intermingle with the cotton wool seed formations of the Pink Willow Herb. Best photographed when enveloped in early morning dew & best seen at the beginning of August . Open every day as Tourism Tea Rooms & Gardens from April to October."
