Clare College Fellows Garden
On my early early Saturday morning walk, I found the gate to the Fellows Garden of Clare College. It was a wrought iron gate with a piece of convex glass embedded in the center. Of course it was locked, but I promised myself that I would come back later in the day. I could glimpse through the gate how lovely the gardens were.
I was not disappointed. Come in and see the flowers.

Sherry,
The gardens are really beautiful! The English seem to have a strong appreciation for all that blooms in an organized fashion. I hope your trip is all that you wanted it to be. Why is it called Clare College?
Hi Sherry,
The flowers are really beautiful! The English seem to appreciate everything that blooms in an organized fashion. Who is the Clare for whom the Clare gardens are named? I hope your trip has been all you would have wanted.

My favourite is the final shot of the gate, would love to see a version of that taken slightly closer up.
Thanks for all the great pictures hope you are staying out of the rain today :-)

Helena,
Clare College is named for Lady Elizabeth de Clare, who endowed the college in the 14th Century and gave it its statutes (http://www.clare.cam.ac.uk/about/history.html), and whose family had interests in the town of Clare in the county of Suffolk.
