This is a stately home kind of place very near Gant's Hill and a walk from Ilford Town Centre. As well as the house - with its superbly equipped family room for the children, it has a cafe where there is a kitchen garden. Look at this for a cabbage!
There is a walled garden - trust me to head for the thistle.
There are lots of flowers but this time I focussed on the sea holly (eryngium) and the blue one which turns out to be Perovskia. Thanks to Wikipedia I now know that it is named after a Russian general, VA Perovski (1794 - 1857) and is also known as Russian Sage.
