ARMY OF TULIPS

Each year I am trying to liven up the side path down the house with a variety of flowers. Again this spring I have planted an army of tulips and they do look very good and add a mass of colour. I will follow on with a planting of wild flower style seeds once the tulips have gone to continue the colours throughout the summer months. Lets see how they go.

LEA GARDENS

Lea Gardens is situated close to Matlock, down the road from our village and is a garden that specialises in rhododendrons and azaleas. It really needs to be visited at just the right time to experience the sheer mass of colour that it delivers. We were a couple of weeks too early for the maximum impact but still not at all disappointed by the mass of colours. Also the coffee shop does a really good coffee and great cakes with views of the garden.
