In their heyday large country houses employed an army of gardeners. Their job was to grow flowers for display in the big house, to grow fruit and vegetables for its table, and to maintain the grounds around the house in a manner befitting a place of high standing. The gardens and grounds at Berrington Hall, Herefordshire, are maintained by volunteers and employees of the National Trust, in whose care the house now rests. In a long garden shed they have placed a collection of old tools that the house's original gardeners would have used. I particularly liked the old wooden wheelbarrow and made sure it was prominent in my photograph.
