East Ruston Old Vicarage
Winter Garden & Lighthouse
Think leaf, bark and berry and you’ll get the
gist. Here are various birches; their stems in
hues of glistening whites, cool creams and rusty
reds. Hollies both plain leaved and variegated
in shades of yellow and cream. Dogwoods and
willows for their red, gold and yellow stems.
Grasses that have good skeletal form during
the winter change from green to lovely shades
of tan and cream. Various coloured phormiums
add great architectural form and the groups of
eucalyptus trees with their glaucous foliage and
prettily patterned trunks in shades of cream,
tan and grey make a lovely background.
Also here is another borrowed view, this
time it is Happisburgh Lighthouse viewed
through an amazing porthole cut in the
Monterey pine shelter belt, this always raises
a smile. The lighthouse is viewed from a
path edged with squares of evergreen oaks,
Quercus ilex, alternating with the Chusan
palm, Trachycarpus fortunei.
