We’re still enjoying lots of colour in the garden with Asters, Rudbeckias, Sedums and Dahlias but as the temperatures start to drop the warm reds and oranges give us all a bit of a glow.

The sculpture show has filled the garden once again with wonderful objects to add a fresh look to rather parched surroundings. There are ceramics, steel, stone and glass works by seventeen different artists.

Towards the end of a rather gloomy winter it gives us all a huge boost to find something cheerful appearing in the garden every day. Miniature Narcissus, Chionodoxa or even a beautiful Turkey Tail fungus growing on a rotting stump.

The garden can look quite bleak on a wet and windy day in January but there is something to cheer every day of the year. The shrubs which flower at this time of year have to work hard to attract a pollinator and a lot will do it with an intense fragrance. The Chimonanthus praecox … Finde mehr heraus
On a sunny day the colours in the garden are still fantastic – the last of the dahlias and rudbeckias and these wonderful hawthorns, ‘Carrierei’, which are laden with berries.
