As work in the garden gets underway, seek advice from our knowledgeable Head Gardener at the Early Spring Coffee Morning 🍃 As well as advice on what jobs are best at this time of year he will also present a talk on the magic of soil and how to improve it the dining hall of Myddelton House 📚 Join us for coffee cake and a good natter 🍰

Happy Monday from one happy little bee 🌸🐝

The team have been busy planting the new Japanese Holly plants along the Tulip Terrace. These replace the box plants that have suffered blight and Box Caterpillar. The variety we have chosen is Ilex crenata 'Dark Green'.

Over the past couple of years we have been removing much of the Vinca that has dominated the ground covering plants on Tom Tiddlers. The result is an explosion of Snowdrops that would otherwise have been hidden.

DUE TO HIGH WINDS FORECAST WE WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY 15th FEBRUARY. WE WILL BE OPEN AS NORMAL ON SUNDAY 16TH. OUR APOLOGIES. LET'S HOPE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE STORMS FOR A WHILE AFTER THIS ONE🤞

Be taken on a tour of Myddelton House Gardens in the eyes of E A Bowles with our Historian Gardener shows you the winter wonders on display before spring springs! 🍂

Hemidesmus indicus (Indian sarsaparilla). Seeds have found the smallest patch of soil in the courtyard to germinate and grow. Rooting so easily it's a wonder that those very roots are traditionally used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, including skin diseases and chronic coughs.

The first 'Scilla bifolia' of the year at Myddelton House. Spring is most definitely coming into full swing. But it's still January 🤔. What oddities have you noticed in your garden so far this year?

We've been busy in the Rose Garden installing metal edging to define and protect the hedging plants and Rose's that will soon be going in the beds. Just as E.A Bowles (Gussie) would have wanted it ⚘

The sweet scent of this Viburnum farreri 'Candidissimum' hasgiven us a fragrant treat all winter 🌸
