If you want more hellebores in your garden, low maintenance, lovely perennials which gently sing from the side-lines and from dark corners during late winter and early spring offering the prettiest of flowers, read on for ideas and suggestions.

I like to think of the garden table as a stage: something to be dressed, designed and decorated, a small pleasure that’s easily achieved and easily changed with the seasons. A place for reminders of what’s coming soon, what’s flowering now, and what’s usually at our feet rather than at eye level. If your garden is getting out of hand and you can’t see the wood for the trees, your table top may be the perfect place to start.

Making the most of the late spring sunshine, we enjoyed flowers, fun, tea and cakes while raising money for Horatio’s Garden at our Garden Gathering.

A Garden Tour to accompany our Garden Gathering in aid of Horatio’s Garden. A wonderful opportunity to bring friends together to raise money for a great cause that nurtures the wellbeing of people after spinal injury in beautiful, vibrant sanctuaries within the heart of NHS spinal injury centres. It’s also a chance to have some fun, some tea and cakes and share how my own garden nurtures me.
