Busy day, more flowers and a visitor!
Another load of weeds bit the dust, there was lots of transplanting primulas and we had time for a visitor, Jaimie MacDonald from Made Curious! And the flowers are still super. There are still a few daffodils and lots of tulips but there’s lots more now, geraniums and geums, lupins and allium.
Flowers before the rain!
Brightening the Starbank Terrace
Most of the rosemary bushes on the terrace round the lavender had died so we’ve given up on them and added a splash of colour. Many thanks Neil and Stan.
There are still plenty tulips too.

Flowers at the Front
The perennial geraniums at the front are just starting to flower, with a nice backdrop of cut grass. Thanks Julie!
Saturday Gardening, 14 May, 10-11.30
There’s a gardening session tomorrow, 10-11.30. There’s lots to do, but plenty of blossom to enjoy and the grass has been cut!
Please come along if you can.
More Spring Flowers
The daffodils and primulas are starting to die back but there’s lots new coming through – as well as the weeds!
And if you look hard you can even see us gardening in the sun!
Another few barrow-loads of weeds!
Fabulous morning, glorious cherry blossom
