We were due to open the garden today under the National Garden Scheme for snowdrops, hellebores, witch hazels and other plants of seasonal interest, but have had to cancel it for family health reasons. The garden was largely ready for the opening, although there were still a few outstanding tasks when we made the decision a fortnight ago; it is a shame, but it was the right decision to make. The biggest shame, however, is not being able to share it with more people, so today I have recorded a warts and all video tour and am sharing our mid-February treasures with all of you instead.
