What’s up in the gardens…from Lou & the team
Our resident peacocks are putting on rather fabulous shows in the walled garden, shaking their tail feathers for all to admire - a sure sign that spring has arrived! The magnolias and primroses are stealing the spotlight, both up and down, with their striking pink and almost fluorescent yellow (respectively) flowers. While bluebell leaves, and tulips buds are starting to make their appearance. Every corner of the estate is full of glorious scents and vibrant colours.
Our gardening team and volunteers have been refreshing and planting the borders by introducing some new shrubs, nurturing sweet peas in the greenhouse which will soon be climbing the obelisks and repurposing cuttings taken from last years flowering displays to bring new life to the walled garden. With wedding season soon approaching, the mowers will soon be back in action, ensuring everything is picture-perfect for our 2025 couples and their guests!
