Bodnant Garden.

For several years I have been an ardent admirer of Bodnant Garden, and wondered whether I would be trusted there as a volunteer. To my great excitement, I had a welcoming response and had my first day on the 11th. With the guidance of the lovely team, I helped tidy the new winter garden and - best of all - planted narcissus bulbs in the Dell.

A few tips given to me from the gardeners there included:
     Never plant during a frosty patch of weather.
     Narcissus bulbs are planted two & a half times their height, and topped with compost.
     Hydrangea heads can be removed in Jan/Feb for good stem height & size of head.
