Getting Ready to Open

The whole team is busy getting the gardens ready to open on Tuesday 2nd April – pathways are being tidied, the shop is being set up, the cafe having a thorough clean and sculpture are being placed.

In the pictures below you can see our chicken wire fencing – this goes up every winter to protect the tulips from all the beasties that like to try and eat them! It will all be coming down this week ready for opening. You can see all the tulip foliage coming up behind the chicken wire – we plant the later flowering varieties for our Tulip Festival (22nd April to 7th May) – we are having some lovely spring weather so they may be out a little earlier this year but they are not out yet – we will keep you updated.
