A ‘Meet the Experts Tour’at Kew Gardens – Snowdrops (Galanthophiles Rule OK) – and my first sighting of the newest species in the club, Galanthus trojanus
Such a treat, earlier this week, attending one of Kew Gardens' Meet the Experts Tours. Every Tuesday throughout the year (or probably pretty much), you are delivered into the hands of one of their Experts for a private tour of one aspect of the work going on at Kew. This month they are talking everything snowdrops…

RHS Wisley – blue skies and sunshine illuminate this beautiful late-November landscape
Such a beautiful day, yesterday, 24th November, under a bright blue clear sky and welcome sunshine. Chill but quite beautiful. I'd never seen the car parks so full - in fact I was directed over a mile down the lane towards the village before heading cross-country into previously unseen fields before making the trek back…

Kew in the Country – an early Autumn tour of Wakehurst Place
Quite the contrast from the sunshine and blue skies enjoyed just yesterday. Cool, cloudy, a little drizzle and everybody kitted out as if they were about to take on a winters' trek through the Lake District. Still, October it is and Autumn is beginning to tickle the trees in this vast and varied landscape and…

A return visit and a more leisurely tour of RHS Wisley
A return visit to the gardens at RHS Wisley, in the brightest of sunshine, to take a more leisurely walk than I had time for last week - and to stroll through the orchards, Glasshouse borders and seven acre wood. Hugely busy as you might expect on the eve of a Bank Holiday weekend but…

A few things that caught my eye today – a little tour of Petersham Nurseries on the longest Day of the Year
No captions this time - far too hot to be bothering with detail like that I'd say - but a few images from a post-lunch ten minute trot through the Nurseries, the Cutting Garden and plant benches. All quite colourful I think you'll agree (and of course, I can take a lot of pictures in…

Postcards from Sussex – the extraordinary Arundel Castle and Gardens
Shropshire, Wales, Oxforshire .. we are putting in the miles together! But the last leg is in Sussex in the beautiful town of Arundel - which is presided over and looked down upon by the rather spectacular Arundel Caste. Part genuine medieval fortification and part Gothik 19th Century confection - it truly is an amazing…
