Spring is in the air... with Easter just around the corner
Though there's much to be said for hibernating or 'wintering' as it's sometimes known... we, and our flowers, do like to feel the sun on our faces. For us gardeners, it's an exciting time of year... with all those seed packets lined up, ready to open. Outside, primroses are in bloom and, before long, there will be bluebells. The joy of spring!

Emily and Sarah dividing herbaceous perennials to go into a newly mulched bed. Plants include aster, phlox, sanguisorba, veronicastrum, solidago, nepeta, salvia, chrysanthemums and more. These have been dug up from previous perennial beds / split and then re planted in new perennial beds around the plot, removing any weeds such as bind weed / creeping buttercup. Keep your eyes peeled for the finished bed!!! (All will be to revealed 😊🌼😎)
We`ll look forward to seeing you there! Jen will be at the farm shop all day on Saturday, so pop in and say hello...
The sun was out this morning so, like a bumblebee we decided to have a sniff around the first few flowers in bloom…

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and we`d like to give a should-out to the humble bumblebee. Jen spotted her first one this year, bimbling around in the garden (the bee as well as Jen) finding nectar in the early spring flowers. Bumblebees are just coming out of hibernation and need to build up their energy with whatever nectar they can find... Keep this in mind before you pull up flowering weeds such as speedwell, dead nettle and dandelions... They`ll also be enjoying classic wild & garden flowers such as primroses and crocuses. We`re looking forward to a sunny week ahead, so take a few minutes to sit with your cuppa and watch these fluffy insects as they go about their buzziness...
