You may have noticed our show gardens are looking a little bare! We are undertaking a new project in partnership with Living Potential Care Farming CIC to reconfigure the Garden of Rest and Bridgefoot Gardens. This includes a period of rest for both garden's flower beds with an aim to plant new flowers in June.

Have you checked your trees recently? 🌲🌲

Are you concerned about a dead or dying tree?

Ash trees grow their leaves later than many other trees.🍃 You’ll usually see leaves starting to appear in April and fully out from May to September.

This is the best time to spot any signs of ash dieback, which is affecting trees across the UK.
