A HINT OF SPRING?


Hello, and welcome to the Crown Nursery blog.


What a difference a week makes!!


Only a week ago, we were under snow and shivering with cold - now here we are basking in mild temperatures - no ice, no snow - the nursery staff shedding their coats and waterproofs! With a balmy 10C on the thermometer - and no overnight frost - it is just the conditions that plants - and people - need to thrive.


Scents seem to linger on the air - the birds are singing - even the girls are singing down in the packing shed!


Yes, we all feel so much better when it's nice out - but how long will it last? Certain members of staff say it's going to turn much colder towards the end of the week - maybe even snow - but who cares, let's just enjoy the moment - it's now!


Until next time

Richard
P.S. - What's the plant at the top of the page? - Garrya elliptica - a classy evergreen now starting to look good - who said catkins ain't pretty!
