Despite the rain our bulbs are slowly starting to show- not least a developing show of snowdrops under the silver birch trees. Pots of daffodils and muscari are growing at pace- no flowers yet, but looking good!

Are you a garden-lover, as we are?  This breathtaking, diverse garden is a must-visit destination from Lodge Cottages- only 30 minutes away it is a perfect day out. “The landscape here is diverse, with managed woodlands, streamside plantings, lavish and ornamental herbaceous borders, wildflower meadows and small-scale model gardens. Collectively they illustrate different garden styles, types of planting, methods of supporting wildlife, ideas for greening grey spaces, and strategies for mitigating the effects of extreme weather.”

Lovely shop and café too!
