It’s wonderful to see everything springing to life again isn’t it? 🌻 I’ve been amazed how many of my pots have survived the winter if I’m honest. 🌱

It finally feels like spring is properly here. I think I missed out by failing to plant tulips so my garden hasn’t really had much in the way of flowers until now. A lot of my pots are full of annuals that I’ve grown from seed so they’re doing well but a long way off flowering just yet. What do you have growing in yours?

I don’t really have flowers, prefer lots of green stuff like palms, bamboos , olive trees and herbs

Sounds gorgeous. I’m working on more evergreens for through the winter. It gives a bit of joy on those very bleak winter days x

Beautiful Claire and I think your membership offer is perfected aligned with how congruent you are in delivering it.

Think you’ll connect to some of my Project Bloom stories scheduled to head out this afternoon...

Happy bank holiday weekend to us and our gardens.

Thank you Claire. I think it’s a case of less thinking and more doing. Things can always evolve x

That sounds like a lovely offering! In early May each year we look at the garden and think that maybe things won’t come back, so we need a trip to buy more plants and then, lo! It all springs back up. I would love to get some bulbs in this year but our hardy perennials put on a show for most of the late spring and summer. Enjoy your weekend Claire! X

The penstemon might not have though... still might need a trip to the garden centre ;)

Lovely post Claire! I have lots of forget-me-nots, aquilegia, foxgloves and a few alliums in my garden too. The aquilegia are purple mainly but there's a beautiful red one that appears just over the fence in my next door neighbours' garden. 🥰

Oh gorgeous. We don’t have any other gardens that neighbour ours so we don’t get to “borrow” neighbours plants ☺️
