Open garden and plant sale this Saturday

This Saturday the garden is open for you to have a look around and there will be perennial plants for sale. It is a great time to plant perennials as the soil is warm from the summer and they can bed in well to thrive next spring/summer. The open garden and sale run from 10-4 […]

Undefeated by rain batik pictures were created

Saturday 5th August was a day for a creative workshop run by Louise Grassby making batik silk paintings. It was a cold wet day so we decamped from the garden to the kitchen and picked flowers from the garden as inspiration instead of being able to go round the garden. Batik pictures were created that […]

Spring has sprung

Finally the days are a little warmer though there could of course still be more snow or freezing temperatures. However, snowdrops are nodding their beautiful heads so full of promise and hellebores of all colours, both speckled and plain are popping up to add joy to sitting on our decking which they are just below.
