The sale takes place over the Easter weekend, GWRS but the volunteers collect for it the week before. We are at the mercy of the weather usually. Good weather brings out the flowers and the crowds.My friend is on duty Sunday and Monday afternoon but in the greenhouses which is sensible as he is over 80. Weather is fine at the moment.Yes the gardens do need rain here too. My waterbutts are all empty which is galling as I have so many pots needing watered and my water is metered.
Blossom galore up the garden today, fruit and clematis montana plus thousands of bluebells and still lots of daffs and tulips. All so pretty but needing rain
Clematis montana atropurpurea, Flumpy. It grows all over my garage roof and looks tremendous for about six weeks. Sometimes depending on the summer we have it flowers again September for about a month. I paid £2 for the original plant decades ago.

I love the naturalistic effect, Marion - happy plants, no room for weeds...
I got up early to get my plants. books and empty plastic bags ready for collection this
afternoon for the Botanic Garden Easter Sale for their funds.
Morning Marion. That's a great selection of plants you have there.
I could do with such a sale, to slim down my collection of gardening books... I think they must be breeding in my bookcases!
Hope the sale goes well. I imagine your plants will be quickly snapped up - they look lovely and healthy.
Good morning , hope the sale went well
Nice day in Lincoln , a very dry spring so far
Everybody have a good day
