I’m seeing a lot of posts about using creeping thyme instead of grass. It still needs maintenance and a sunny, free draining spot. We use it between paving slabs, under a pergola 🌱🇬🇧 photo from last summer #flowers #herbs #bloomscrolling

Something about the Anemone blanda on this front garden bank and the way they self-seed in the nearby tree pit makes me happy every March. 💙

The hyacinths are on the cusp of blooming. I’d forgotten I’d planted a lot of bulbs last year which are popping up all over the garden. Which is nice. #garden #gardening #flowers #spring #ukgardens #biodiversity #pollinators #gardens #bees #plants #gardenersworld

A favourite flower for #CheeringUpMondays. I always 'recycle' hyacinths from container displays or pots bought for indoors. They are planted into borders and although the flowers may be smaller in subsequent years, they are just as beautiful and fragrant. 🌱 💚 #greenheart #UKGardening #FlowerReport

My autumn bulb list has just got longer and I'm blaming Naomi Slade! I've been reading her latest book and it's all about daffodils. (Given review copy, not paid.) A lively read and far too tempting, you can read my review on the blog: buff.ly/XRLslG4 🌱 #UKGardening 💙 📚 #daffodils #greenheart
