Happy Chinese New Year! Photo: Corydalis flexuosa 'China Blue'

Heloniopsis orientalis var. flavida

I have been very busy all week sowing seeds and, of the many sown today, this is my personal favourite: Meconopsis aculeata 'Purple'.

I adore everything about Semiaquilegia adoxoides, a dwarf, woodland species that is native to Japan, Korea and China, from its early, fern-like foliage, splashed in silver (an attractive bronze colour when young) to it's erect stems with tiny, nodding, elegant, single, white spring flowers. It's a plant that you have to get down on your hands and knees to appreciate its delicate beauty!

Snow, snow and more snow ...

A great way to start the year with a nice mention in Country Living magazine!

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a great New Year! Thanks for all your support this year! Hope you all stay warmer than Alfie in the photo! Lisa & Andrew

Collected and cleaned today our final seeds for 2017 of Polygonatum punctatum BSWJ2395. Despite the freezing weather Pseudofumaria alba is still determined to flower!

One of our more elusive residents spotted this morning.

Working in the wood today. One of the main reasons for moving here was to carefully manage the farm’s 5 acre woodland in order to protect the flora and fauna that live there. We are gradually opening up areas to get more light onto the woodland floor for the continued survival of the orchid species.
