Mis Medi/September 2014

Saif Craig y Ffynnon ar gwr tref hynafol Dolgellau, lle mae'r tir yn dechrau codi'n serth i Gadair Idris.  Adeiladwyd y tŷ gwreiddiol tua 1750 a'r ddau estyniad helaeth yn niwedd oes Fictoria.  Mae'r ardd ddwy erw yn gwynebu'r gogledd gyda llawer o nodweddion yr oes honno wedi goresgyn.

The garden was laid out during the late Victorian era,the paths, walls, croquet lawn, box hedges, Bothy and greenhouse area belonging to this period. These are maintained and sometimes modified to suit modern

requirements,the croquet lawn now serving as a link between the spring flowering woodland garden and the summer flowering formal area.

Gentians growing in a sunny spot

Mae wedi bod yn fis Medi sych iawn ac mae
planhigion yn dal i dyfu a blodeuo. Gweler y
Gentian isod yn tyfu mewn hen sinc wedi ei osod
mewn llecyn heulog efo digon o ddraeniad


Flowering profusely in an old kitchen sink    
containing well drained humus rich soil is
this Gentian. The intensity of the blue colour
is amazing especially as the light begins to fail in the
early evening.  By morning the bright blue trumpets have collapsed and closed only to open again when the sun comes out.

Yr olygfa o'r parterre tuag at y ty gwydr

Mae planhigion megis Phlox yn dal i flodeuo ac yn rhoi uchder a ffurf i'r borderi.

Looking from the parterre towards the greenhouse the box hedges separate the garden into 'rooms'. Each 'room' having a distinct flowering time and flowers.

Yn gobeithio na fydd gennym forgrug fel rhain yn yr ardd!
