Maisie would like to tell you about the new aquatic plants now in stock. We have some fantastic plants, lots with flowers on and looking fab. They have made a great addition to the aquatic plants currently in stock. We still have water lilies and many other marginals, aquatic compost and baskets.
A couple of customers have asked about water hawthorn, which we now have available and more oxygenators which are always popular

The sales area is tidied and filled up ready for the weekend. Lots of lovely healthy, unusual, interesting and colourful plants mostly growing in the nursery. Trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, water plants, annuals, herbs, alpines, compost, pots and decorative garden items and so much more.
The nursery gardens are looking beautiful at the moment so make sure and visit and enjoy a walk around them 
See you soon

The pond in our wild life garden is looking great at the moment and full of life when you look closer. The water lilies have lots of flowers this year and there are always frogs, damsel flies and newts to spot.
Back in October last year I did some root cuttings of all the Echinops varieties we have here in the gardens. You can see the process in the original post by following the link below. This week we've been potting up the results of these cuttings. I'm so pleased with the results, love an experiment that goes right 
30 odd plants each of Echinops ritro and Echinops 'Blue Globe' are now potted and growing on for next year

Five years ago I planted six Dactylorhiza orchids from my own plant collection in the bank above the herb garden. They have gradually spread in the bank and this year there are 50 flowering!!! They are also appearing elsewhere in the garden, in borders, other wild flower banks and even more in the wild flower meadow. Giving nature a nudge then letting her have free reign is such a great thing to watch. These orchids are a thing of beauty and seeing them spread naturally is fantastic.
What I'd really like to know is if they are all common spotted, marsh orchids or a mix, or a cross. If there are any native orchid experts out there please visit the nursery while they are in full flower (now) and help me id what we have for definite. Thanks
Meanwhile I'm going to keep enjoying them and counting them 
Views from around the nursery gardens this last week. The gardens this year are the best they've ever looked, I'm so happy with them. Come and visit and enjoy them too

If everything goes to plan this will be our new regular dog walk! So excited! And stressed, the waiting on decisions from money people and lawyers is a nightmare, 6 weeks so far!
A day spent, planning, packing and chucking out, just your usual day off lol.
