Hopefully, People will send in pictures of their gardens in bloom to act as a virtual Open Gardens 2020. These will be displayed below, as they come in, for all to see. Encourage your friends to be brave and send a few pictures- it doesn't have to be a mansion or immaculate. It's yours and be proud of it !
We still want any other pictures you want to share and these will be on display below the Talaton Garden section
Talaton Un-Open Gardens 2020
Pictures Are in Order of Receipt
Above is a Picture Showing a Bit of History....
During an Open Garden Weekend, when visitors walk round, so as to brighten up a small person’s afternoon and stop them pinching the cuttings,they are challenged to find a hidden object in every garden relevant to gardening or topical to that year.
It was started about twelve years ago and each year was different and although there was no prize for finding it ( although one or two loving owners did reward the children with sweets ! ) many a bored spouse would join in.
First we hid a Butterfly, a Snake, then a tiny grey Squirrel, and in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Year we hung coloured diamond shaped Mobiles. David Glanville kindly made diamond shaped nesting boxes, in our 20th, and the first year that RHS Chelsea allowed them in, we had Gnomes. In our 25th anniversary Pam Weston made us Silver Bells!
Maybe next year it should be a Coron......... Maybe not, let's have a good luck fairy .

Lime Nail Gall
Microscopic mites (less than 0.2 mm long) feed on the foliage of Lime Trees - huge one on the Moor - where they suck the sap and secrete chemicals into the plant tissue. This causes the leaves to produce galls.
