Focus on ground covers, so important in our climate to keep moisture in and weeds away. In the gardens of the tours, we observe plants that grow well and add colours with flowers or leaves, heucheras are a favourite.

We also observe different types of mulch in action in different gardens. Always something new to discover!

Featured here are anemones, h***y goat, euphorbias, lamium ajuga, a mix of lily of the valley and white comfrey, and veronica.

Hellebores are still showing off in the gardens of the tours. The flowers stay out a long time as they are sepals, strong flower part protecting the inside. The petals are the little tubular parts.
The whole plant is toxic. But so beautiful!

Rain rain rain bringing the magic of raindrops on leaves and releasing wonderful smells. Guided garden tours run rain or shine.

So many blossoms nearly out, tulips, crabapples, rhodos...
Daffodils and cherry blossoms resisted well.
Here are a few photos of the beauties you will see on a tour with us.
