We’re always here…
We love June • Oh joy, it is finally June: the month for romance, weddings, summer fetes, school outings and long evenings under bright stars. The newly hatched birds are flexing their wings, the bees are buzzing around, the ice is clinking alluringly in countless glasses and our gardens are at that stage of overflowing voluptuousness that is so life enhancing. This is the garden equivalent of the famous scene in Rocky when Sylvester Stallone is standing at the top of the Philadelphia Art Museum steps and jumping around ecstatically as the city emerges from the early morning mist.
