All in the golden afternoon – Home to Alice (RHS)

🌻September is the month when you can see beautiful gardens and explore new places for outdoor fun. 





This British Summer’s theme is an imaginative one: 

ALICE IN WONDERLANDS.






ALICE ran across the green field after seeing a rabbit take a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and followed the rabbit popping down a large hole under the hedge.

Falling down to the hole, before Alice was another long passage, then turned the corner, and finally she found herself in a long hall.



The doors all around the hall are locked, to get out of the place, Alice needed the right key to open the door. However, either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. Finally, the door to another world has been opened by a golden key.







The passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw, Alice got out of the dark hall, and wander about among bright flowers and cool fountains.





 Thus grew the tale of Wonderland:
Thus slowly, one by one,
Its quaint events were hammered out –
And now the tale is done,
And home we steer, a merry crew,
Beneath the setting sun. 

– Lewis Carroll
