Last week saw publication of 'Teesdale's Special Flora' by Dr Margaret E Bradshaw, Teesdale's special botanist - who has studied the flora here for 70 years and is still going strong at 97! Both the book and its author are truly inspiring... (please RT!)

It’s #SocialPrescribingDay! We’re celebrating our #GreenSocialPrescribing projects which help people to engage in nature-based activities to improve their health and wellbeing. Watch this inspiring film from the Roots4Life’s Green Mondays project.

Did you know, a single Daisy (Bellis perennis) has two different types of flower? Those at the edge are white and have one petal each, while all the little blooms making up the yellow dome have five!

👏👏👏

As well as Not using floral foam , if more florists can use British/local blooms even better 🌸🤙💐🤘

The #SpringEquinox on 20 March is the astronomical start of #Spring - 17:24 EDT, 21:24 GMT. #Equinox means ‘equal night’ & at this moment day & night are almost equal in length, but from now on the days will grow longer as the light half of the year unfolds. #MythologyMonday

You should never let a child wander alone into a bluebell wood. It is the faeries’ domain & they will whisk it away forever. If an adult ventures in, faeries will lead them round in circles for hours, if not days, until someone bravely goes in to rescue them. #MythologyMonday
