The Endsleigh Gardener Spring Walk

Join The Endsleigh Gardener, Ben Ruscombe-King, for a guided tour of the garden at Spring. Springtime is arguably the best time to witness this as the garden bursts into bloom. The stalwarts of an English springtime: daffodils, wood anemone, crocus, primroses, campion, wild garlic, bluebells and periwinkle cover the banks, jostling with more exotic Primula dentata, whilst overhead Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendron light up the scene with their vibrant colour, backed by the more refined but no less exotic whites and creams of Magnolia. The young foliage of the Japanese acers pushes forth in pinks, purples, oranges and greens, ferns unfurl their primeval croziers and gunnera begins to break bud along the streams and cascades. The intense verdure brings an energy to the scene that is palpable and sweet scent fills the air. Wildlife too makes its presence known, the drumming of woodpeckers echoes around the valley and the chorus of birdsong is at its glorious peak.
