‘Puddling’
In June 2016, a group from PHG visited Edmondsham House, where the Head Gardener, Andrew Haynes, showed us how to transplant our new plant purchases into our gardens.
The gorse behind Beaucette Marina is out now and has a lovely coconut perfume. We had a delicious lunch at Saltwater restaurant and they have given us one of the raffle prizes for the Giant Plant Sale on Bank Holiday Monday, 27 May, 10am - 12noon at Sausmarez Manor. Put it in your diary. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #gorse
This is Geranium maderense, which is pretty spectacular in the spring of year two, but then dies after a long flowering. However it self-seeds happily and finds its own preferred spots in your garden. It also comes in white. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #geraniummaderense

The cowslips are out, but are not that easy to get going in Guernsey as our winters are not often cold enough for germination. They are perennial, so you can buy one at a garden centre, even if it has gone over and then be patient! I rather like the tall one in the photo as it has sent up a second flower through the first. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #primrose
