The Parwich Butterfly Count
Posted in Gardens, Photography on Wednesday September 7, 2016| 1 Comment »
With over 70% of the UK’s resident and regular migrant butterfly species in decline over recent years, we wondered which species have you spotted in your garden this year? What were they feeding on?
Thank you to David G for these lovely images.

Thank You Parwich
Posted in Gardens on Sunday July 17, 2016| Leave a Comment »
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.

‘Scottish’ Roses
Posted in Gardens on Thursday June 9, 2016| Leave a Comment »
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.

Yes the Horticultural Society is looking for YOU.
Open Gardens this year takes place on the afternoon of Sunday 26 June. Please contact Lesley Goodman on 542 by 20 June if you would be willing to open your garden.
Tempted but nervous? Speak to Lesley.
People love to see the gardens that are regularly open as each year is different. New gardens opened are also very popular.
So if you would like to participate in this highlight of the Parwich calendar , just let Lesley know. You may well find it surprisingly enjoyable!

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…)
