April Newsletter – Walks, Wildflowers and Wildlife

Well, what lovely weather we are having so far this year. It does of course mean that everything is very dry and we are busy watering plants in the nursery to keep them in good condition for you to plant on at home.

As May approaches I am looking forward to leading the first Garden Walk of the summer on May 7th. I am getting around slowly after my accident, so it will be a steady stroll to see the highlights of the garden, which at this time of year includes our lovely wildflower meadow and Rosa banksiae (pictured) which is just coming out this week. Did you know that our meadow is a typical lowland hay meadow, ancient grassland that is perfect for pollinators? Join me on the 7th May to find out more.

We are also busy working behind the scenes to organise our annual family wildlife day on 29th June, which will be it’s usual blend of nature-based activities and expert knowledge.

May and June are my favourite times in the garden as the hardy geraniums take centre stage, so I am really looking forward to sharing the garden with you over the next few weeks.
