• There is colour everywhere you look as we now start getting the layering  effect with flowers blooming at ground level, eye level and up into the canopies of the flowering fruit trees. Daffodils are coming out in large numbers and are lighting up most corners of the garden with the earliest of the tulips following closely behind. Over the next couple of weeks we will be experiencing the colourful displays of the flowering plum, cherry and crabapple trees as they perform in the annual parade of spring colour.
