The annual visit to Hampton Court Flower Show was a wet affair this year; still we had a nice day. Disappointed in the lack of gardens to sales stand ratio, it’s a flower show after all but the main tent didn’t disappoint. The thing I noticed was a lack of diversity, lots of overly similar gardens. Nothing stood out as a show stopper either.
Made a friend in the countryside today. The job was tidying around a rural dance school with beautiful surrounding views. It just so happened that in the field next to me were two of these beautiful, friendly and very talkative Pigs. I had two apples

It just so happened that in the field next to me were two of these beautiful, friendly and very talkative Pigs. I had two apples when I arrived and shared one. The Pig seemed pleased! #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #pig #countryside

Slightly different from me but a trip to the London Sky Garden and a walk round to the Tower of London to see the wildflower planting provided some really lovely ideas. You actually don’t realise how green many of the roofs are in London but the view from the Sky Garden really surprises you. #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #london #livingwall

For me it’s not just about the plants and the gardens that I enjoy but also the wildlife. I am constantly flanked by Robins waiting for me to break earth so they can get easy access worms but also surrounded by interesting insects and I always make time to look at them if I can. They can tell you a lot about the location and health of the space. Also they are just plain interesting! #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #garden #insect #eastgrinstead #flower

I had the pleasure of parking on a customers drive yesterday and the moment I got out of my car I could hear a really loud buzzing. I literally saw this Ceanothus moving, there were that many Bees on it 🐝 I love this time of year! Some gardens are new to me and I don’t know what plants are still to come. Perennials are really starting to push on now and it’s exciting to watch. #thejollygardener #eastgrinsteadgardener #eastgrinstead #lilac #flower #garden
Reinstating borders today. Lots of edging, digging and weeding but the end result is always worth it! It makes a garden look so tidy and clean and the opportunity to plant more opens up. #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #eastgrinstead #g

This ornamental Cherry is an absolute stunner this year. This is the best I’ve seen it blossom by far, really thick and heavy with flowers. #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #eastgrinstead #blossom #cherry

Every day something new happens in this job! Today was very exciting! Little Female Field Mouse was collecting Cherry Blossom for her Spring Nest. We watched her for some time scuttling back and forth with boundless energy. It was really fun and interesting to watch! #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #eastgrinstead #nature #animal #fun #mouse #funny

Well I didn’t mean to intrude but this was a very interesting but unwelcome discovery on a very beautiful Lily just starting to get going. I mean just look at the cheek of these two. They have eaten holes in the leaves among many other little red critters but just so brazen! Needless to say they were swiftly removed! #thejollygardenerltd #eastgrinsteadgardener #eastgrinstead #garden
