Manicured hedges and symmetrical beds line the elegant walled garden of Monteviot House, a historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders. Flowering trees form a graceful avenue, leading the eye towards the lush greenery and the old stone walls draped in seasonal blooms. Renowned for its tranquil #FormalGardens and carefully maintained #WalledGarden, the site offers visitors a serene glimpse into traditional Scottish landscape design. A favourite for #LandscapePhotography enthusiasts, Monteviot House is a gem among #HistoricEstate gardens in the region.

The cypress lane in the Boboli Gardens, Florence. Planting started in 1612. While my own gardening style tends to the opposite (wild abandon), I gained a lot of appreciation for the grand, formal style. The magnificence of this lane cannot be overstated.
