Postings from the plot ...
As autumn leaves and colours give way to a crisper, more wintry feel our attention turns to seasonal ingredients for our wreaths – and festive foraging. We love showing people how to create a plastic-free, festive wreath using our home-grown willow and an abundance of winter foliage – but there’s still room for a bit […]

It’s that time of year when, tired of the gloomy weather, we like to bring a few stems into our office and ‘force’ them to bloom. It’s not as harsh as it sounds — just the term that’s used for bringing on flowers or edible plants (rhubarb perhaps being the best known) sooner than if they were left to their own devices. Our Norwegian grandma was a big inspiration who, to counteract the short and dark winter days, would bring blossom branches into the house. This week we are going to be supplying the @loddingtonfarmshop with a selection of interesting stems including our pink pussy willow and forsythia. Pair them with scented Cornish narcissi and you’re in for a treat: flowers, scent and interest… Us BG staff will be grabbing a bunch or two ourselves to stave off the winter blues…

Dahlias! What to do in winter?!
.
We are packing our dahlias away for the winter. We dig up our dahlias after they’ve been in the ground for two years. We dry them out, upside down, for a couple of weeks in the poly tunnel. Now, we are going through them cutting off any rotten bits and packing them in crates lined with newspaper, and surrounding them with chopped horse bedding. We have found this
works really well to keep them in good condition through the winter. They will be prepared for planting next spring.
.
How do you prepare your dahlias for the winter?
