Hi everyone,
The garden at the front of the visitor centre is looking really lovely at the moment so I thought I would share some pictures with you!
Some of the early flowering plants are out in bloom and looking lovely:
The primroses look stunning.
As does the crocus'.
We were very excited to see the first of the snakes head fritillerys! They are the UK's only native fritillery.
What flowers are blooming in your garden?
March is a good planting month, as the soil is starting to warm up while plants are still largely dormant and don’t mind being moved. Evergreen hedges, such as holly or box, make a good screen for front gardens.
Jobs for the month Finish planning for the year Plant shrubs and perennials Feed and mulch beds and borders Sow hardy annuals Plant summer bulbs Cut back buddleia Start landscaping projects, such as a patio If you have made a new pond, now is a good time to introduce frogspawn Plant bare rooted deciduous hedges in cooler areas of the north Plant evergreen hedges (holly, yew etc) in the south Make a mini wetland Chit seed potatoes Plant strawberries
