This month you can see the following in the Sensory Garden:-
In the Central Raised Bed there are some mauve early Species Crocus amongst the Ajuga plants. Crocus tommasinianus.
As you walk into the garden on your left you will see an evergreen shrub commonly known as Sweet Box , which has small white highly scented flowers. This is Saracococca confusa.
In the centre of the top terrace you will see pink and white Hellebores, which are commonly known as the Lenten Rose.
Just as you pass the Mole statue you will see we have three Viburnum bodnantense “Charles Lamont”, which have clusters of pinky/white flowers and a lovely fragrance.
Enjoy!
