First Signs of Life

The first in a new regular series of posts with the latest news from our park and gardens by gardener Bob Mansfield. 

One of the gardener's great pleasures is to spot the first flowers that come through in late winter. These harbingers of spring are reminders that in a few short weeks there will be carpets of these much loved spring flowers throughout the park and gardens. Here are the first ones through at Beningbrough this year. 

Snowdrops, early January

Iris reticulata, out exeptionally early in one of our more formal borders, taken earlier this month

Winter acconites, early January

Daffodils, Sat 28th Jan
Bob's next post will look at the old traditional technique of hedge laying, back in operation here at Beningbrough!
