Garden greetings and welcome to our small space January tour blooming with winter’s wonderful beauty, the luminosity of glowing hellebore flowers and lush loveliness of evergreen foliage, situated in Kent, South East England. Come on a detailed mini tour of our secluded ‘Secret Garden’, shown for the first time on video: a paved passageway lined with container bamboo, underplanted with evergreen ferns, sweet box, pretty hellebores and self-seeded flowers, surrounding the awesome Oribe stone lantern. Along with seasonal memories of our gardening year, we consider garden style icons, willow sculptures, changing plant names, and flower photo searches. Wishing everyone a year ahead filled with flowerful times and nature-soothed minds.

*Correction*
The Cornish garden displaying the Green Man sculpture is at Antony (not ‘Anthony’)!
