I can think of no nicer way to raise funds for a charity than walking around some beautiful open gardens.
You get to enjoy a beautiful day out, experience the magic of walking around someone elses garden, meet kindred spirits and exchange chats and stories and at the same time helping an outstanding charity.

So take the opportunity next Sunday 28th June to visit these 2 gardens which are well worth the journey - details below. (go early as these gardens are always extra popular!)

Ain't life just better in the sunshine!

This is another often overlooked beauty in our landscape.
Myosotis or Forget me Not -
really gorgeous blue flowers and looks stunning growing underneath anything and in particular under roses.
Again, I think if wasnt so wild here, we'd do anything to source one for the garden!!

Kind of feels a bit like summer-proper hasn't started yet because the weather has been so mixed (was properly cold at times in last week)

But like it or not we're still orbiting and today is 21st June - we're halfway there!

Enjoy all the sunshine cos after this it'll be all "The evenings are getting very short" and "Happy Christmas"!!!

I often think that if our Foxgloves weren't wild, we'd travel anywhere and do anything to source one they're just so stunning.
But because we see them so often growing wild, do we lose sight of them, lose sight of their beauty, their medical value and their folklore.

If you're planting roses in your garden (and Why wouldn't you? they bring so much beauty),
remember that it is single forms like this one that have a benefit to pollinators.
Simple flowers where the stamens are exposed and accessible and the petals act as little landing pads for insects like bees and hoverflies.
Aren't they just gorgeous.
