However I found it rather odd it being there. It was the sort of garden you might expect to find at Chelsea, and certainly not in the middle of Kiftsgate. On reflection though it is a garden that grabs you and has a very dramatic presence, in much the same way as this pool garden, so perhaps it does belong after all as the next generation of garden at Kiftsgate?<br /><br />Margaret, waffling is always allowed ;o)<br /><br />RO xxxRothschild Orchidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05211151492115918365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-24688916487070999782010-06-24T01:57:20.097+01:002010-06-24T01:57:20.097+01:00I liked that pool as well when I visited Kiftsgate - what did you think of the one with the modern sculpture where the tennis courts used to be.
