The garden is
now preparing for late summer with the crocosmia, Eucomis and
daisies just starting. The Agapanthus in the field are spectacular
as usual.
Do call and
see us and help the St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.
Garden and nursery are open Mon-Friday 9am - 4pm- £2.
Limited plant sales but pre booked orders can be collected. |

Things to do: |
 |
Keep
watering potted lilies even after they have flowered to build up the
bulbs for next year. Give
potted Agapanthus a feed of Tomorite. Dead head the daylilies to
keep the flowers coming.

order for next spring's display.
