We've been busy pottering both in and out of the garden. We went to the local garden centre yesterday to buy compost, grit and bird food. This was after going into the town centre to Boots to pop empty blister packs from medications into the recycling bin. I was glad to find out about the recycling project there as I was loath to put the empty packs into the ordinary waste.
On Wednesday we visited Biddulph Grange Gardens for a walk around. There was lots of work being done to resurface the entrance way and also the cleaning of stone edging in the Dahlia Walk.
The Woodland Walk is now called the Wellbeing Walk and many grassy areas had been roped off to allow for re-growth and re-seeding.
The Chinese Garden was looking wonderful in the sunshine.
The Stumpery has recently been made larger with funding from the Blue Diamond Garden Centres Group.
It is supposed to be the oldest Stumpery in the UK and it is now as large as the original one created by James Bateman in the early 1800s.
At home in the garden the Tulips are flowering.
Right, time to think about lunch. All for now.
