I’ve just returned from Merriments Nursery (Hurst Green, East Sussex) where I was preparing for a guided walk I’m giving with Helen Yemm (from the Telegraph) this Saturday May 3rd as part of National Nurseries Week. Helen will be talking about plant combinations and I will be encouraging those attending (and everyone else) to plant pollinator friendly plants. Merriments was looking very lovely as you can see from the accompanying photographs.

Malus (very) floribunda

Ornithogalum umbellatum and Violets

Mixed Violets

Ranunculus gramineus

Camassias

A sea of ornithogalum – perfect for a shady spot
