The Horticultural Society would like to thank those who opened their gardens on 26 June and everyone in the village who supported the event. Open Gardens could not be the success it is without the support of the village. This year Open Gardens raised £1,490.35 gross. Expenses need to come off that figure but it will mean that once again the Horticultural Society will be able to help other groups in the village. Letters requesting funding should be sent to Lesley Goodman prior to the AGM on 4 November.

A big thank you to the Horticultural Society and to all the volunteers and to the garden owners for making yesterday’s Open Gardens and Chirldren’s Show such a success. Even the rain just about held off.

Today the ‘Scottish’ roses (varieties of Rosa spinosissima, also called Rosa pimpinellifolia) growing through Christine and David’s garden wall are looking spectacular. I guess they count now as Parwich natives given they are cuttings of cuttings that have lived in various Parwich gardens for at least a century.

CULLAND HALL OPEN GARDENS AND SPECIALIST PLANT FAIR
SUNDAY 12TH JUNE 2016, 11am – 4pm.
It was twenty years ago that the owners of Culland Hall embarked on creating a memorable garden at their home. Years of dedication have come to fruition to produce an exquisitively painted corner of Derbyshire….walled water gardens edged with cool white allium….hot reds and vibrant oranges ignite the kitchen garden, an old fashioned potager bursting with fruits and vegetables for the kitchen, a woodland walk with an autumnal palette of burnt sienna and ochre, painterley coloured double borders (more…)

Despite the cool weather the bumblebees seem to be quite active. In my garden they are going for the lungworts (pulmonaria) and the perennial wallflowers (erysimum) rather than the spring bulbs. What are they making a bee line for in your garden?

Remember to get tweeting and twittering this weekend!
Over the weekend of 30-31 January the RSPB is running their annual Big Garden Birdwatch. ( See RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch for more details ). In conjunction with this we will once again run our own Alsop, Ballidon, Pikehall and Parwich Little Garden Birdwatch. Whilst the RSPB want to know numbers of different bird species seen during a one hour period we simply what to know what species have been seen over the weekend in and around the villages. There will be a post to log sightings available over the weekend. For anyone doubtful of their bird recognition skills the RSPB site is pretty good, where you can find an A-Z Guide and useful tools to help identify a specific bird sighting.
Our target for the weekend is a challenging 40 different species so the more taking part the better.
Listed below are some of the species we hope will be spotted (more…)
