We love April...
for fresh, delicate beginnings
The worst of the miserable weather is over and the thick coats can go back on their pegs. April is the month when we finally emerge yawning and stretching like cute dormice from a long winter’s hibernation. Our gardens are doing the same, with bulbs shoving their way through the soil at an alarming rate, perennials unfurling young leaves and trees busting out buds. This is it, people, we are off on another cartwheeling, romantic, rose-scented season of gardening. Tighten your garters and sharpen your spades, it’s going to be fun!
