Spring: sprung.

Following months of rain, the grey warmth of the March sun has awakened not only the songbirds and pheasant, but also the early blossoms.  In particular the camellia by the loggia is on fiery form.
  The old, venerable rosemaries...
 and the cherry blossoms are early:
and the beautiful pink one on the lawn will be out in force in a couple of weeks.
 The optimistic shoots are coming through on the great terrace...
 Although the weather has meant that the borders are only being planted out in the coming fortnight, as we continue with Alison Jenkins' exciting planting scheme:
Iford opens for the year on April 1st - we look forward to seeing you!
