Goodbye to the gnome

Most gardens have a bit of sculpture among the plants. It could be a thoughtfully-placed statue, an interesting urn, even an unfashionable gnome, but it’s there somewhere, if you look closely.

Mole on a molehill

Wholly moley

The moles are on the move, and that’s bad news for anyone who takes pride in their lawn.

Tulips

It’s been a bit of a short spring this year; all that ice and snow took its toll on early-flowerers, but it hasn’t stopped tulips from putting on a stunning show.

Clematis montana

SPRING may have been a long time coming but it means visitors to this year’s Harrogate Spring Flower Show will be able to see one or two blooms they don’t usually get to see at this time of year.
