Around the Walled Garden and Grounds, there are small splashes of colour to be seen. There was a small number of visitors today even though the House is open. The decorative stone urns have had their protection against frost removed and we put out four benches - two beside the Mary Pool and two on the Upper Terrace opposite the Conservatory and Peach Houses.
After this we had the job of cutting down a virburnum shrub near to Goldfish Pond. It filled a number of wheelbarrows but ended up on the fire. The wind blown leaves were removed and the ground forked over. Another small job completed but it will provide another area of interest for the visitors when replanting takes place.
The following photographs were taken before I started work this morning:
