It's always a delight to visit Bluebell Cottage Gardens but also a little sad that yesterday was the last day of opening until spring 2026. Beautiful trees for sale in the nursery for the first time this year. Ginkgo and Crab Apples looking splendid.

A visit to Leven's Hall in Cumbria is always a joy. The sun shone, the planting around the topiary was buzzing and butterflies were everywhere.
