Everything has suddenly changed.



This was a month ago.



Now look at it!

My Rhuen is looking good and so it Spotty Dotty beneath it.

Some of my purchases for Malvern Show

A dolly tub to keep my potting compost in instead of having a plastic bag on show!

A lovely galvanised was tub with lid to store my grit in.

3 x Arum lilies for the side of my pond.

A good idea from Malvern Show

I think filling the gaps with slate is a wonderful idea.

On Kim Hursts stand these planters are a brilliant idea

More ideas for planters.

Malvern Spring Gardening Show

My favourite garden from the show.  I love this seat.  The planting looks as though it has been there forever.

The planting along the edge of the pool is wonderful

Malvern is my favourite 2 days out of the year!  The weather was horrible on the Thursday but the Friday was alot better. 

Woolerton Old Hall

Saturday 27th April I went for a lovely day at Woolerton Old Hall.  It was to celebrate the owners being there 30 years.  In the morning they gave a wonderful account of the last 30 years with slides.  We then had a very tasty lunch of Salmon and various naughty desserts.  In the afternoon we were free to wander around the garden and ask questions.  I asked what was John's favourite late flowering clematis (being as they usually have a wonderful display of them).   John said it was Black Prince.  I have since bought this!  It is a garden for all seasons and give me loads of inspiration.

Mascari Latifolium in its glory!

Beautiful combination

Bergenia, pulmaria, drumstick primula and primrose.

Compost

I have had my delivery of compost for the second year from Church Meadow Compost.

It proved very good last year.  It is made from sheep manure.  I had 2 cubic metres of mulch and 1 cubic metre of general purpose.  The mulch is wonderful as it is sterile and it keeps the weeds at bay.
