False alarm re the the lane closure. No-one has turned up and the lane is open as usual. Maddening!!

We've just been told that our single track lane is being closed for pot-hole repairs tomorrow. So if you were planning to come tomorrow - please don't! I'll post a further update here when we know what's happening... Thanks

Ooh, thank you very much Alison :-)

Will it, or won't it rain later today? If it doesn't, you can enjoy a quiet wander round the bluebell woods and garden. And if it does, our cosy tea room has hot drinks and cakes, of course, and a fab selection of books for sale for Macmillan Cancer Support. Either way, do drop by :-)

Good morning! Another fine day ahead, the bluebells still look fantastic in our woods (free entry), our '3 x £5.00 plants for £12.00' offer is still on, tulips are still out in the garden, and we have cake too! Open Wed-Sat 10-5. Closed Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.

Good morning, and a gorgeous, fine one it is too. The tulips in the garden still look fabulous - this one is 'Grand Perfection', recommended to me by my mum pamhollingworth . Fabulous, isn't it? Gardens are open Wed-Sat 10-5. WA44HP. Free to The RHS members.

We loved meeting you all - so glad the weather held too :-)

This picture has the original white Narcissus in it too, planted back when I was thinking of keeping the border all white and 'tasteful'. The Imperial frits changed all that overnight.

In case you're wondering, yes it's here, in the gardens. Open Wed-Sat 105 :-)

Hello - sunshine at last! We're open today, 10-5...

Yes the gardens, nursery and tea room are open today (Good Friday) and tomorrow 10-5. Today we've got Jess and Bethany (her first ever day at work!) in the tea room and Anna (welcome back :-) ) in the nursery with me and Tina. See you soon, we hope. x

Good morning! The gardens, nursery and tea room are open for the 2024 season from 10am today :-) Opening hours 10-5 Wed-Sat (So yes, we're closed Easter Sunday and Monday) Free garden entry this week as it's a bit early yet. But Prunus 'Shirotae' is worth seeing on its own..

Every time I drive out of the lane I glance up at the telephone wires. It won't be long now... #swallows .

The gardens, nursery and tea room re-open for the season on Wednesday 27th March. Open Wed-Sat 10-5 till end Sept (including Good Friday and Easter Saturday). Closed Easter Sunday and Monday.

See you soon!
