This takes me back 30 odd years 🥰
It reminds me of visiting Dukeries Garden Centre with my grandad years and years ago, always loved the old greenhouses at Welbeck. They have been beautifully restored.

What's eating the Solomon's seal I hear you ask.... Sawfly caterpillars is the answer. Pick them off and squash them or feed them to the birds. Make sure you cultivate the ground around Solomon's seal in winter, the pupae overwinter in the soil, cultivating the soil exposes the pupae so birds will eat them therefore reducing the numbers helps keep Sawfly damage to a minimum.

Please take a moment to vote for my little business in the public voting awards category. ✔️

Massive thank you to whoever nominated me for this award! I have no idea who it was 🥰.

Planting plan=gardening by numbers. Would a planting plan help you create the flower borders you've always desired? I create an overhead design with a list of correspondingly numbered plants, enabling you to create a garden in the colour scheme that you love.
