We were delighted to recognise the long-standing support of Daylesford House to National Garden Scheme with a plaque to mark their 30 years of opening.

What a difference some sun and cutting the grass makes.
Before anyone shouts about no mow May, that happens elsewhere in the garden.
Don’t look too closely at the grass here, more moss, self-sown things and stuff that’s crept out from the borders than grass. 😂

Looking forward to watching my garden Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire change and grow over the coming summer and autumn. Festival is now open.
