I have just got back from the Leura Gardens Festival.  How wonderful these garden were!  All of them spacious and full to the brim with plants.  Rhodendrons were in full force; a hugely popular plant in the Blue Mountains, as shown in this photo, taken at ‘Tandella’ , 6 St Andrews Road.  This garden was beautifully maintained.  We also particularly loved ‘Rustlings’, 39 Woodford Street and ‘Ewanrigg’, 100 Gladstone Road and of course a walk around Everglades National Trust garden was a wonderful end to the day.  Here are a few of my favourite photos:
