It’s been a busy few months and I thought I’d share a few pictures from my own spring garden with you…

A premium selection of daffodils I’m trialling.

Carnation-flowered daffodils

These carnation-flowered daffs have big, voluptuous blooms with a fragrance to match!

Amazing fragrance

This mix of tulips lasted weeks as different colours appeared.

The frilly flowers look lovely but are they any good to bees? The Tulip ‘St George’ is gorgeous though.
