Summer is here

Its been a lovely week in the garden, the wildflower meadow is at its best with the snakeshead  Fritillaries still the stars of the show but with a wonderful supporting cast of species tulips, lilac cardamine, cowslips and a pair of Willow Warblers (rare feathered friends) building a home close by. Tonight the Sandalwood Tree was spreading its sweet scent over the whole garden, as the dusk fell I couldn't bear to go indoors, so I just sat in the beach garden watching Pied Wagtails until  it was so dark I could hardly make my way back to the house!

Meditation Garden, Early Evening

Prunus Incisa.

The gardens are providing us with a beautiful Spring display at the moment. This Prunus Incisa is just one of many.

Signs of Spring

We have tadpoles in one  pond and newts in the other, birdsong everywhere and the cherry blossom is out in the meditation garden. The sandalwood tree is uncurling its scented leaves and will take you back to your hippy days with just one sniff!
