Sunshine for the soul

First session back after Easter, and we had a very productive day down at the greenhouse with the whole team. 

Some of the plant team went off to R&B to purchase some more sapling trees whilst the rest began the construction for Readers Garden. Some lovely sedges were potted up from the gardens to bring them on for the Knitted Garden.

We then gave lots of TLC to all our plants for both gardens, and generally enjoyed being out in some warm sunshine for the morning, as did the trees.

The Papyrus has arrived by post for 'In the Knitted Garden'.  It has been planted up and is now sitting happily in the greenhouse with its feet nice and wet!

Panda spotting

Lovely big bamboos for the Knitted Garden. I wonder if we can do some spinning and weaving out of these once the Show is done... ;)

Phllostachys aureosulcata “Aureocaulis”

Happy in the greenhouse.

Cosy tree!

It's very colourful too, amongst the drab of the granite paving.
