What a day! Finally a day of the backdoor open and being outside most of the day. Irises filling the pot, the first cherry blossom and clearing out the bird box with wonder at the Great Tits' work from last year. Rewarded with the first evening black bird song of the year 💚💚💚 #Greenheart #Garden

Seedlings and more seedlings! The joy of gardening in February is the hope of what's to come. All of our client gardeners sow seeds and watch them develop so there is a complex system of labelling! #STH #GreenHeart #TherapeuticGardening #Garden #Hope #Spring

A little walk round the gardens today to lift the spirits on this grey old day. Spring flowers and robins serenading us at every corner #GreenHeart #Gardening #Gardens #BloomScrolling #Spring #Robin

It was a bitterly cold lunchtime dog walk at Holders Woods, but as well as this blackbird who sat observing me for some time, I watched some woodpecker territory action high up in the canopy. Only one counts for my @ecorecord.bsky.social Feb bird count though! #Birmingham

A beautiful show of aconites and cyclamen in the gardens this morning. Just the cheer we need on this grey and bitter day. #aconites #cyclamen #SpringFlowers #greenheart #gardening #Birmingham #GardeningForWellbeing

I've taken @ecorecord.bsky.social up on their 28 Birds Later February bird spotting challenge. Prepare for blurry camera phone photos...No 1 today - one of the many Carrion Crows of Highbury Park, who then proceeded to hassle the dog! #birds #CityPark #Birmingham #Corvids

I love buying seeds from @higgledygarden.bsky.social - it's all about the personal touch. And I couldn't resist trying out some "Rainbow Hippy Lovechild" as I definitely fall into that category myself 😍 #GreenHeart #Gardening #Seeds #Rainbow

The rhubarb's on its way! We've got about 3 times this much in the gardens, and some is now being forced. I love rhubarb so hoping there will be some spare 😁💚 #GreenHeart #Gardening #Rhubarb #STH

What a weird wether day. Drove through alternating thick fog and blue sky from Brum to Nottingham. Stopped at the Attenborough Nature Reserve expecting to see lots of birds, but instead it was ice in many different spectacular forms! #Ice #Weather #Winter

An icy but beautiful start here today at our therapeutic gardens in Birmingham. Phlomis seed heads, tall grasses and silver birch looking spectacular. Even the walk down to the gardens was pretty stunning 😍💚 #GreenHeart #Garden #Gardening #TherapyGarden #STH #CityPark

A glimpse of colour in our therapeutic gardens today. Some gorgeous cyclamen are popping out of the rockery, with hellebores close behind 💚 #GreenHeart

One of the hidden green gems of Birmingham - the Harborne Walkway. Surrounded by allotments, Chad Brooke, huge gardens and a nature reserve it's an amazing green corridor and part of what makes this a City of Nature. #LoveBrum

I love working with gardening folk. We had our Christmas do for staff and volunteers in the office where we debated the point of celery for about 20mins. Although more about the eating than the growing! #GardenThread #GreenHeart
