Bit of a change...I


Id had enough , I needed space to move around! I have these moments of All change. I would like to be more dramatic but time , dimensions and customers wants prevail. I'm ready for Mothers Day now!


 I have painted one wall grey- I may go Black- time will tell. We need light this time of year.

Beauties...

 My lovely Poppy ready to go to her school Ball. How time goes by-18 this September!
 Dark double Hellebore's- COR!!!!
 Peachy!
 Stripes!
 Spots...
Love seeing these stunning beauties emerging in my garden. The beginning of the week felt like we had turned a corner. We seemed to have returned to Winter-boo hoo!!!
I have had lots of plug plants arrive to pot up and I have planted all my Dahlia tubers, they are buried snug in pots in the poly tunnel.
The garden has been getting a clean up bliz - bonfires , sweeping, cutting- it has to be done! Ready to welcome Spring.

Survived!

 We survived Valentines, in fact it was our best yet. Men came in knowing what they (their wives wanted!) A few men told me that their wives said they only wanted flowers from us, so sweet!
Not one man asked for Red Roses! I just refuse to go there-I'm not keen and the price is crazy money! The supermarkets can do the cheap Roses, but they don't look nice and they don't last- try telling that to a sceptic ! So I'm rather tired now -I could do with a LONG holiday (ain't going to get it!)
I would love an exotic chill out
I would love a potter in the garden with sunshine and no food to cook and house to clean, wholesalers to go to, no collection from schools. I ain't gonna get that either!!




Today it rather felt like Spring???? The birds were singing away merrily . I think we are all ready to get away from grey skies and cold weather? I AM!

Spring is a coming and so is new stock...


Lovely bags and cushions by Whinberry and Antler now in the shop.

Hares are very popular at all times of the year!

I went to a big trade fair today and Stags, antlers and Deer seem to be everywhere- big for next Christmas. I don't mind as I adore them.

The  Hellebore is one of my top favourite flowers.


I love seeing all the Spring flowers pop up after the snow.
