Of the gardens that I've visited in winter, the borders are mulched and the mulch 'tickled in' - i.e. no-one is allowed to step on the soil for fear of compacting it! It will be worth a return visit in the summer to see what the borders look like then. Lovely to see a splash of colour in the greenhouse and I expect it was also quite nice and warm there, too!

I can't see them treating the borders in this way every year. Archie can be a little monkey sometimes so I don't mind him having to wait outside, I'm just pleased that he's allowed in the garden. We'd been to Harlow Carr in the morning and he had to stay at home so a trip to Temple Newsam in the afternoon was his reward.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
