Capturing those Elusive Flowers

2020 marks my 29th year of watching the unfolding of spring in the Winterthur garden.

Spring is a vulnerable time in the garden and when you are able to […]

Typically in mid-January, we will see a peppering of snowdrops; this year, there are masses of them alongside the first flowers of Adonis with […]

As the world bustles, a quiet awakening occurs on the woodland floor of the March Bank; the arrival of the first snowdrops. H. F. du Pont would walk the path from his house through the woods in search for these early bloomers, noting the date of their appearance in his correspondence as well as in […]
March Bank Awakening

Whatever illusion I had about understanding the weather has been dashed in the past year. Between the recent temperature swings and the “need to build an ark” with our record-breaking rainfall has set my confidence in my weather predicting out the window. Weather has never been predictable but our norms and trends now seem to be setting their […]
