Wandering with Wren - Mottistone Gardens

Now the school/summer holiday crowds have gone home, it is time to start exploring the island again.


We have been here before, but Wren hasn't so she was excited to wander around Mottistone Gardens, a National Trust property.



There were a lot of lovely flowers for her to admire.


Little nooks and crannies to sit and just enjoy the weather and beauty of the gardens.



She strolled around the footpaths



Stopped to say hello to a pig in the raised vegetable beds.


Smelt the herbs


Had a shock at the giant spider she spied in the window


Said hello to a flower pot creature.


Sat a while


Read about the mining bees


Posed on a post



Balanced on a round concrete ball



Stood on a fence post


and waved to passers by


Rested on a tree.


What a great afternoon it was.  A really beautiful garden well worth a visit.

  1. Wren looks like she enjoys exploring, and her surroundings were beautiful. What brand boots is she wearing? They support her well.

    1. I bought the boots on Ebay back in 2015 I think it was from mimiwoo, but I have been looking for some more, as her red pair have peeled badly and I noticed on Sunday that these were starting to peel as well :( Sadly it doesn't look like you can get these ones anymore. I might try and see if I can find any on Aliexpress
