These pictures are mainly from September and are only a small glimpse into the gardens of Lady Margaret Hall.

After finishing my degree in 1998, I spent a year working in the gardens at Lady Margaret Hall under head gardener Ben Pritchard. He was an innovative gardener and has made many good improvements. It was hard work keeping on top of the 5 acres though.

I will be posting more pictures of Lady Margaret Hall gardens soon.
