Spring Favourites Spirea x arguta
One of the big spring favourites Spirea x arguta out in early spring. A feathery tall shrub with a cascade of bridal like white flowers. It's a tough shrub. I seam to be able to grow it everywhere. I think you could make a hedge of it as I like the soft foliage but it is deciduous.

Late Winter Almost Spring Gardens
March Gardener’s Calendar

Saturday, 28 January 2023
Winter Honeysuckle Shrub
Lonicera (Honeysuckle) flowering in winter. This is a shrub with woody stems not a climber. On the nursery we have 'fragrantissima' and 'standishii' both equally pretty and rather similar although the latter may be comfortably kept slightly bigger.
Snowdrops and Aconites
Aconites and snowdrops out nice and early. A reminder that gardens never stop and always have something to brighten our day. These can be planted in the green ( which is grown on in pots) and some say they do better.

February Gardener's Calendar

Cornus ( or Dog Wood) Simple Stunning Winter Stems
Beautiful winter stems. No flowers required for colour here. These are cornus (or Dog Wood) interesting name as it was Dagger Wood as daggers were made from it and somewhere along the way it became mispronounced.
