Charingworth Court Cotswolds Garden

The gardener (that’s me!) just can’t get any work done today or indeed the whole of the week.

Snow everywhere still and the pond is frozen over but the sun came out for a while this morning and it looks very pretty as long as you don’t want to do any gardening!

A sunny but cold Sunday with the pond frozen over all day. The  hellebore and euphorbia are both self seeded but fortunately they are in reasonable positions so they can stay and be enjoyed for a few weeks!

A great day for planting cornus in the sun!  We’ve got 20 bare rooted westonbirt and 10 midwinter fire to find a home for and we’re mulching at the same time.

Today the witch hazel is in full bloom and the hazel catkins are glowing.  I even found a tiny, exquisite violet flowing in the gravel.  I love how the garden changes every day.  Today, I’ve spent a few hours pottering around, raking leaves off the gravel and cutting back dead foliage so that the bulbs and the hellebores can be seen.
