Whilst wandering around West Dean Gardens at the beginning of February I noticed that the door to one of the gardener's huts was open. Although it was out of bounds I managed to get a quick shot of the inside, which turned out to be quite fascinating, so I thought I'd share it.

A giant pumpkin, various other smaller squashes, a wooden box with what looks like chestnuts attached, and some vintage garden machinery (possibly a garden hose roller, and a couple of spray pumps). I wonder what other treasures were in there!

Looks like a pretty fancy gardeners hut to me! A nice collection of things on and under that shelf. Maybe they leave the door open in the expectancy of visitors like yourself taking a peek and snap :) It does look slightly contrived!

Any, great shot and thanks for sharing. Herb

They are pretty nice "huts".........there are a few dotted around and most seem to have been refurbished. In this case I think it was just a case of someone leaving the door open by mistake, the gardens are nearly always around nearby.

Anyway,............I'm pleased you like the shot Herb........and thank you.

I wonder if they have been there since Halloween! A good job you're a rebel and got this shot Keith, as it's very charming and worth the risk ;-))

Hope you have an enjoyable new week.

Probably! I think my wife would describe me as "nosy" rather than a rebel. Glad you like the shot Rosa and thanks for dropping by. Have an enjoyable week yourself.
