Happy #InternationalWomensDay

Here’s to the women who lift others up, speak truth, show kindness, and keep moving forward, even on the difficult days.

The world is better because of you

This crown imperial has popped up unexpectedly. I love the colour. In a pot planted last year. Only one to survive. #Mygarden #Gardening

Heather providing sustenance for bees. At Wisley different varieties seemed more attractive than others. #Gardening #Bees

Visited Wisley yesterday. Haven't been for a while. We had a lovely day - beautiful, inspiring, and informative.

Inspired by RHS Wisley's Heather Landscape I want more Ericas in my woodland/heathland edge garden. Noted which ones had the most bees on them. Now to source them. #Gardening #MyGarden

Friends and relations will be gifted the ones growing in the gravel of the drive.

Primroses lit up by spring sunshine. They proliferate happily around my woodland garden. #Gardenshour #Gardening #MyGarden

Spent a happy afternoon down and dirty, digging a muddy hole. Most enjoyable! #Gardening #Mygarden

Saw a Brimstone butterfly and Hairy Footed Flower bees on our primroses today. They move too fast so here's a photo of Charlie Cat sitting still on a primrose instead! #mygarden #Gardening #Cats #Spring

Garden waking up. Blooms popping out all over. First insects buzzing about. Saw the first Hairy Footed Flower bee yesterday. Lovely! #sixonsaturday #Mygarden #Gardening

Collage of six butterfly photographs in soft green light: a small tortoiseshell on pink oregano flowers, a peacock butterfly on lavender, a meadow brown on clover, a white butterfly on purple blooms, a red admiral on lavender, and another white butterfly among green stems.

A Chumash legend tells that when the Earth was created the Great Spirit adorned the dark mountains with small colourful stones. The South Wind, marvelling at their beauty, breathed life into them. They grew wings, fluttered away and became the first butterflies. #FolkloreThursday

There really is a lot of colour to be found in winter plantings like these at Kew Gardens. Lots of perfume around too. #Gardening

"Pixie" - the first blooms from last Autumn's bulb planting. Whoop! #Gardenhour #Gardening #Mygarden

So enjoyed an afternoon of gardening today. Birds were singing and Spring was springing. #Gardening #Mygarden #Spring

Daffodils standing up resilient, despite being dirt spattered due to the incessant rain. Be more daffodil! #Gardening #Mygarden

Snowdrops are normal for February in Berkshire, UK. This year it is the sunshine that isn't!

Snowdrops and sunshine. I love my garden and the flow of delights through the year. #Gardenshour #Gardening #Mygarden

A glimmer of sunshine - at last! #Gardening

I am so lucky to have my garden to retreat to when times get tough. Good to be able to share it with others on here too. #Mygarden #Gardening

Bumble bees on a camellia and winter honeysuckle. Our honeybees have been seen, including on the snowdrops.
