Another beautiful day out, this time Newstead Abbey, and very lucky to see the handkerchief tree Davidia involucrata flowering in the Grade II* registered park and gardens, stunning in the sunshine. So lucky with our #Nottingham #Nottinghamshire #Museums and #Heritage

New trees need water over the summer, we can all help with establishing new trees where we live 👇
