Join us for the early May tour of our small space garden, along with a flower-filled visit to gorgeous Great Dixter and a wander through English woodland carpeted with wildflowers. At the start of the month, it’s the patio containers of tulips, wallflowers and aquilegia offering the greatest colour impact, but the pristine white lilac is also reaching its zenith, apple blossom buds are finally opening their soft pink petals, and birds and bees are busy going about their beautiful business. We garden in Kent, South East England, Zone 8. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to our channel and sending our best wishes for flowerful times and nature-soothed minds.
