Coleton Fishacre is a property consisting of a 24-acre garden and a house in the Arts and Crafts style, situated in Kingswear, Devon, England. The property has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1982.
This rather futuristic-looking thing is actually an arty historical thing... sort of. National Trust Croome are doing something fascinating and innovative where they're bringing the history of Croome Court alive through art installations in the property. This one is called 'I Am Archive'.
Nymans is an English garden in Haywards Heath, Sussex. It was developed, starting in the late 19th century, by three generations of the Messel family, and was brought to renown by Leonard Messel.
In 1953 Nymans became a National Trust property.[1] Nymans is the origin of many sports, selections and hybrids, both planned and serendipitous, some of which can be identified by the term nymansensis, "of Nymans". Eucryphia × nymansensis (E. cordifolia × E. glutinosa) is also known as E. "Nymansay". Magnolia × loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Camellia 'Maud Messel' and Forsythia suspensa 'Nymans', with its bronze young stems, are all familiar shrub to gardeners.
History
In the late 19th century, Ludwig Messel, a member of a German Jewish family, settled in England and bought the Nymans estate, a house with 600 acres on a sloping site overlooking the picturesque High Weald of Sussex. There he set about turning the estate into a place for family life and entertainment, with an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden room where topiary features contrast with new plants from temperate zones around the world. Messel's head gardener from 1895 was James Comber, whose expertise helped form plant collections at Nymans of camellias, rhododendrons, which unusually at the time were combined with planting heather (Erica) eucryphias and magnolias. William Robinson advised in establishing the Wild Garden.[2]
His son Colonel Leonard Messel succeeded to the property in 1915 and replaced the nondescript Regency house with the picturesque stone manor, designed by Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill in a mellow late Gothic/Tudor style. He and his wife Maud (daughter of Edward Linley Sambourne) extended the garden to the north and subscribed to seed collecting expeditions in the Himalayas and South America.
The garden reached a peak in the 1930s and was regularly opened to the public. The severe reduction of staff in World War II was followed in 1947 by a disastrous fire in the house, which survives as a garden ruin. The house was partially rebuilt and became the home of Leonard Messel's daughter[3] Anne Messel and her second husband the 6th Earl of Rosse. At Leonard Messel's death in 1953 it was willed to the National Trust with 275 acres of woodland, one of the first gardens taken on by the Trust. Lady Rosse continued to serve as Garden Director.

Happiest Moment in my life!
When I was roaming in Jaipur Zoo (Nahargarh Biological Park), this free ranging squirrel [The Indian palm squirrel or three-striped palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum)] had come so close to my foot that it almost climbed my pant! Don't know how it found out my extra-special love towards animals, especially the rodents. He stayed for a few seconds before realising that I didn't have anything to feed him and then hopped along.
Yet, it hopped for about 5 feet away, stood up in its hind feet and was giving itself a nice face wash!

AHF unveiled its newest billboard public awareness campaign in Los Angeles this week to encourage honesty and transparency in sexual relationships and promote testing for HIV and STDs. The billboards feature images of heterosexual and gay couples lying in bed—with one partner looking suspiciously at the other—and asks the simple question, “Trust Him?” or “Trust Her?” The series of billboards uses images of four diverse couples representing at-risk populations to promote freeHIVtest.net and freeSTDcheck.org, online portals where individuals can quickly locate AHF’s nearest free HIV or STD testing sites from their computers or mobile phones.
