Even so, I was a bit shocked this morning when I saw daffodils coming up in the garden. Remembering JFS’s photos of apple blossom, primroses and ceanothus from way, way back in October, I decided to [...]

In tribute to the magnificent horse chestnut trees, some of which had to be felled due to disease, here is a mini-slideshow showing some photographs taken recently.
In memory of the chestnuts
Posted in Flora on Sunday October 24, 2010 | 5 Comments »
The avenue of horse-chestnut trees at Nethergreen was planted to celebrate the coronation of the Queen nearly 60 years ago. For some fifty years they flourished, supplying several generations with conkers. A number of years ago they were discovered to have a disease, that could not be treated. Professional advice was for the disease run its [...]

Alien Plant Invaders

Several escaped garden plants are a nuisance in the Peak Park, including Japanese knotweed, rhododendron and Himalayan balsam. Locally there is Japanese Knotweed in Parwich churchyard which fortunately was spotted in time. Once established, Japanese knotweed is virtually indestructible. (Neither weed killer nor digging it up help. About all you can do is plant trees to hide it.) [...]

When the snow melts the first flowers of the year should be appearing: the yellow aconites and even the shoots of snow drops. Lambing and calving may not be that far away. How about sending in your photos to PARWICH.ORG (email parwich@hotmail.co.uk) of the ‘firsts’ of the year as they occur.
