Awaiting new fern fronds along our stream so can still see the bare bones of the old landscaping....
Whilst things look natural albeit not for East Anglia, an awful lot of landscaping was carried out around 20 years ago... wouldn't be possible now with price of labour and materials

Sounding more like London zoo than exotic garden today...fish feeding time.
Am certainly not one of those prize koi breeding bores and have the fish as bit of life in one of our ponds
Horrendous east wind has stopped so a rare warm day!

Giving a talk this evening at the above venue The Plantation Garden in Norwich at their AGM! Well it's a hall at the Catholic cathedral next door.
I do about 1 talk a week, local, Essex, sometimes London and rarely the midlands.
We not posh enough at Henstead for AGMs as it's really just me and the odd waif and stray!!

Spring has sprung! Lots to do before opening that's for sure!
Lot of time spent in poly tunnels at this time of year getting the 100s of plants needed for various plant shows coming up

Amazing to see the sun back in garden after what has felt like a miserable dank winter...for most of us am sure!
Here you see the fish appreciating their first feed of the season
