Well February so far has certainly brought new challenges for most of us around the country in some form or another and I hope that those of you who suffered flooding and storm damage are managing to get back to some normality.<\/p>\n
As you can imagine my family received a lot of teasing when one of the storms was names Franklin! Compared to many we actually escaped quite lightly, although we were without power for 24 hours. I know many weren’t so lucky and it does certainly remind us just how much we rely on electricity these days. We do have candles but a quick trip up to my loft and the box of battery-operated Christmas lights came to the rescue\u2026 I wasn\u2019t expecting to see Christmas lights again so soon!<\/p>\n
Whilst clearing away all the branches blown down into our garden, it reminded me how amazing nature is as I spotted so many shoots appearing in the pots dotted around in the garden, including my Plants2Gardens<\/strong><\/a> tulips. So it\u2019s quite timely that on Friday 4th March we have a mini garden event with many of your favourite guests and various plants, flowers and gardening tools providing plenty of inspiration. If you enjoy a balcony or shared communal area on which you can plant up containers, you may like to tune in at midday on the 4th with Chloe for a whole hour of Container Gardening.<\/p>\n\n
