The week was incredibly busy for us all as we prepared for two more days of judging for the South and South East in Bloom. This year we had been asked to be part of Farnham's bid to win Gold, a huge honour for us.

On Monday a group of volunteers were on the acre for the first of our judging days - In your Community ( South and South East in Bloom).

Having had consistently very wet days three days in a row we can count ourselves lucky as the rain stayed away on our ‘Welcome Wednesday’ until after lunch

The view of the meadow now is stunning with a sea of white and yellow interspersed with a few red poppies with lots of buttercups highlighted against the bronze fennel.

What a great turnout we had on Wednesday for a fantastic day of achievement - we're creating a garden that will be a joy to be in this summer!

What a day! No hiding in greenhouses today as the glorious sunshine bathed the acre in its warm rays, highlighting the beautiful colours that are beginning to emerge all around us.

Black clouds hovered over the acre today, finding us hunkering down in the workshop cabin whilst outside the pond was naturally filled as the clouds emptied.

So many things happening on the acre in the past week it seems as if we’re competing with the spring flowers to come to bloom!

The acre is beginning to look quite glorious. Marianne and Sarah went plant shopping and the " Madge Green Bee Bed " is really taking shape.
