Gone potty ...

This week has been mostly spent  planting up pots and baskets for clients ... a job I love xx

All done and ready to be delivered.  If you need help with yours just pop them into the shop. 

A snippet of our tiny shop garden. 

And the maddest chrysanthemums ever.

This Sunday (10th June) sees us celebrating our Cedar Farm Day, there is lots going on throughout the day .. making workshops, storytelling, talks and demonstrations, food tasters, bbq and a bar plus a ukulele band xx

And look at baby Maggie’s current mode of transport, she is so beautiful xx

My garden solar powered lights have finally, after six days of thinking about it, decided to illuminate at dusk, the foxgloves are of course stealing the show.

And this little one continues to make us laugh, she is the happiest most independent little girl,  who goes into, what looks like, the fun-est little wonky world of her own when playing, she is a total and utter bonkers delight.

This week ..

It’s been an eclectic week which is nice. 

The shopgirl left the shop, and spent a day with the gardeners. 

Tidying borders and lots and lots and lots of planting. 

In a beautiful garden with a delightful feathered companion. 

It’s was lovely. 

In other news, this little girl turned 11. 

and this little girl came to her new home. 

It’s been fun.

Have a lovely weekend xx

Wisteria tips ..

It’s National Gardening week so we thought a garden-y tip would be utterly the thing for today, hope you enjoy it. 

Wisteria can be planted at any time of the year and It really takes very little to achieve fat buds just about to burst with colour 

A nice sunny wall and pruning twice a year is all that these vigorous climbers need. 

We prune once in July/August to remove all the whip growth. This keeps its shape and stops it taking over. 

Then again in February/March, reducing the summer pruned shoots to two buds so you can see the beautiful flowers in May.

Its our farmers market tomorrow from 10am and our shop is fully stocked with plants and flowers. 

Have a lovely weekend xx
