Overgrown

This old Victorian greenhouse has definitely seen better days. THere's hardly a pane of glass left and it's completely overgrown with weeds except for two very healthy fig trees, with lots of figs on. I thought the old greenhouse was rather charming.
We were at Borde Hill Garden in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. We're visiting Martha for a few days.
It may have seen better days, but looks charming

It is charming to look at and photograph. May be less so if you are the one responsible for figuring out what to do with it. This comment from the perspective of someone who is presently cleaning out a garage filled with 10 or 15 years worth of junk. : )

Always interesting to find what still may be thriving there !! Great find and shot !

wow I agree, superb to photograph, I'd be daunted if it was up me to put this back into shape (though wouldn't you feel great afterwards!)

Pity it has been left to arrive in this state. I can imagine what beautiful plants an flowers were cultivated in a glasshouse like this.

Great find. It would have been beautiful in its heyday :)
