How lucky am I that Hyde Hall, part of the Royal Horticultural Society, is only about a 20 minute drive from where I live? It’s such a great space – not only to take the children to, with its vast open spaces and adventure playground, but it’s jam packed with so many different varieties of flowers and herbs which is both a feast for the eyes and senses.
At the moment, the foxgloves are in abundance, growing to great heights and in a lovely variety of colours. Named because their petals look like the fingers of a glove, my favourite shade is the coral, but the most widely seen are the pale pink. Foxgloves are a great addition to bouquets to add that focal point and height but I particularly love to see them in gardens, they really add to that English country garden vibe.
