Colourful spring bulbs are flowering in abundance at this time of year. With the weather starting to get a bit warmer, the patchwork border near the maze is really coming to life; it looks best in the morning when the sun is on it.
Look out for the cherry blossom starting to appear in the walled gardens. Wild cherries can also be spotted in the woodland, along Sir Felix's Gentle walk.
The first bluebells are starting to pop their heads up already. By the end of April we are expecting the Spinney Woods to be full of them!
In the woods down near the Cowshed tearoom, bluebells come out in force as well. These take a bit longer to appear, and will probably be out fully in May.
The bluebells that grow in our woods are the English bluebell, and are rare in the rest of Europe.
Help us to keep these bluebells looking their best by taking care when walking through the woods, and keeping to the paths. They can get damaged easily, and we want all visitors to be able to enjoy the beauty of them!
