I am sad to report that our spring bulb display has finished early this year as the extremely warm weather from the past week depleted the show. However, I am happy to report that we are busy planting our summer bedding display and many of our perennial and rhododendron borders are showing exceptional colour. We have never witnessed so many Blue Poppies blooming so early in the year and they really are a special treat when you come across a colourful grouping of them in the Gardens.
