The first of the #magnolias are starting to bloom at some of the places we care for in #Cornwall, which means spring is just around the corner 🌸 This early burst of colour is sure to brighten a dull February day 😍 #NTTrelissick #NTTrengwainton #SpringIsComing

#Snowdrops are taking over @NTNewarkPark🌱 Swathes of these seasonal showstoppers are carpeting the garden and provide the perfect spot to relax and take a mindful moment as you admire the views. Be sure not to miss them, they’re at their best in February 😍

An appreciation post for the #snowdrops emerging in the garden at #Goldolphin in #Cornwall. These delicate blooms are more than just a pretty sight – they signal that spring is just around the corner 🌱 📷 Gemma D #SnowdropSeason #SnowdropSunday #ILoveCornwall #WinterWalks

Happy birthday to us! 130 today and still going strong 💪 A big thank you to everyone who is celebrating with us ♥️

@loujnicholls So pleased for you. Very best of luck. Alan

So, anyway! Here's my new garden I'm incredibly honoured to have been appointed the new HG of Erddig An absolute jewel of a garden, it has over 200 varieties of fruit trees, the UKs largest walled garden (I believe), a canal and pollarded limes

@Boskeybois @loujnicholls Now we are talking trees…. It’s a beauty!

Leaves from the enigmatic Sassafras albidum. Native to the USA it’s leaves are variable in shape,often with a lobe to one side. Outstanding autumn colour and deserves to be more widely planted in the UK. @alanstourhead @loujnicholls

A nice Autumnal whisper from Saltram this morning. Have always loved a Tulip Tree. ⁦@NTSouthWest⁩

Without stronger protections for all trees – not just the most ancient and beautiful – this heritage is at risk... ⁦@WoodlandTrust⁩ is calling for legal protection for all the country’s most important trees, something akin to listed building status. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Barrington Court looking terrific this week. ⁦@NTSouthWest⁩ ⁦@bbcsomerset⁩

Visiting some dear old friends yesterday, plants and people! Heavenly.

@Boskeybois What a treat Jonathan.

Got a good soaking today in #HainaultForest but this rather fine Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) was filling the damp air with its scent and really lifted my spirits.

Inside every acorn is an oak tree dreaming 💚

Had the pleasure of spending time ⁦at Barrington Court in Somerset yesterday. Glorious day and so nice to see Spring tip toe across the garden. ⁦@NTSouthWest⁩

@Lexiscee I worked at Stourhead for many years and was there on that day and was standing only 15 meters out of shot keeping a close eye on my garden! It was a great experience to see the filming of the scene. Glad you got to visit Stourhead, it’s a magical place.

7 years ago, I had the chance to visit Stourhead, aka the place where the rain scene from P&P was filmed! It was gorgeous 🥰#ThrowbackTuesday
