While the weather in March can still play a few tricks, spring is definitely in the air. There are delights to find lighting up the different garden rooms of our walled garden, with pockets of colour from primroses, daffodils, hellebores, dwarf iris and cyclamen. By the end of the month, cherry tree Prunus ‘The Bride’ is smothered with blossom in the Paradise Garden, and in the shelter of the Fruit House, large pink blooms adorn peach trees. In the Orchard, Magnolia kobus – a tree inherited from the original garden – puts on a show with its beautiful goblet-shaped flowers.
