We have finally said a sad farewell to the gorgeous sweet peas, who, until recently, have flowered their socks off this year. Never mind, it'll soon be time to think about sowing next year's. We gardeners are always looking to the future!

The flowers in the cutting garden look stunning in the evening light. But hopefully, it will rain tomorrow 🤞

Despite the prolonged hot and dry weather, the sweet peas are still going strong. Most stems are now quite short, but the scent is delightful.

Just some of the dahlias in flower at the moment. This year, they've been slow to get going, but are now catching up.

A lovely couple of hours spent doing a little deadheading and tidying in the garden. Many butterflies, including Peacock, Red Admiral, Tortoiseshell, Large and Small White, Meadow Browns. It's so good to share the garden with them. Of course, number one flower is Buddliea, but there's lots of other flowers they are partial to as well.

Another brilliant Open Gardens event last Sunday. Thank you to all our visitors, we had such a successful event. We also couldn't have run the Open Gardens without our wonderful helpers - thank you so much to them too. Very excited to welcome a group tomorrow afternoon.

Phuopsis stylosa is a fabulous plant. It is all around the garden, but my favourite place is when it is tumbling down steps in the front garden.

The gorgeous 'Tai Haku' cherry tree lights up the garden in spring, even on a gloomy day. Bees love the blossom, too.

Can't wait for this lovely workshop Artprimitif

A Chattering of Starlings work in progress. My painting workshop “Painting Much Loved Garden Birds” is on next Saturday (22nd March) and this is my example painting to show my students the painting process. I love the bright orange underpainting, shame most of it will disappear under the layers of paint that I will build up.
