The Story

One of the pleasures of walking our dog is stumbling across a little patch of vivid red poppies you were not expecting to see or planning a trip to try and find (with numb toes!) the first snowdrops of the season.

Picnics in our ‘secret’ bluebell wood are an annual fragrant treat as is sitting in the park making daisy chains. Even a traffic jam on the motorway can be vastly improved by careful study of the greenery growing untroubled along the verges.

We are surrounded not by weeds, but by wildflowers so let’s admire them all and help them to thrive
