Dry Spring Takes its Toll – East Anglia UK
Plant of the Week
Pieris japonica
Spring brings some vivid colour to our gardens. Plants with new growth, red foliage, give a striking impact on the garden scene. One of the best plants for red is the Pieris japonica.
The early foliage starts out deep red and mellows to yellow and then green. Best suited to partial shade woodland areas, this acid soil loving plant will thrive with little effort.

Home of The Garden Bench
There is nothing that has more Therapeutic Benefits than sitting for a while on The Garden Bench. Our mental well being is being stretched to the limits at a time of unprecedented turmoil. Yet nature sits around us all as a silent witness to the endless possibilities of beauty and intricacy that give us hope and encouragement to carry on. Take a seat, sit for a while, and contemplate how it came to be, and what we can do to protect it.
