The greenhouses at West Dean are splendid.
Just look at this latch - it's a little piece of art in it's own right.
Every detail is delightful:
from the roof
to the floor.
I think there were about ten greenhouses - most of which had already been fully restored and several of them planted with well established fruit trees.
Each had it's own little name tag on display.
There were rows and rows of strawberry plants
You could imagine the greenhouses running at full production, keeping the big house well supplied with delicious fresh fruit and vegetables.
Look - a perfect lettuce!
One of many.
It makes me smile to think of years of footsteps wearing down this step as industrious gardeners go about their business,
while a sneaky visitor laps up the sun.
