Container Gardening with Perennials

It seems we are all, if lucky enough to have one, appreciating our gardens and plants more than ever. We have been pleased to get some rain, but news is still not great with the continuing Covid-19 situation. We thought this week we could widen (or narrow) our main focus on garden plants that also […]

Geranium Rozanne

The Geranium Stories

Geraniums are plants that can transform a garden or patio. And each of the top perennials in this post arose as chance seedlings, rather than through any commercial breeding – discovery was made only through sharp and observant eyes. If those individuals hadn’t spotted them, many gardens including Bressingham would be much poorer. Here is […]

Adrian Bloom’s Best for Winter and Early Spring

“If there was only one snowdrop allowed to be in cultivation, I would have to choose Sam Arnott!”   Adrian Bloom. The Story of Sam Arnott… Few gardeners may realize that we are in an era of Snowdrop Mania, and each year at this time so called Galanthophiles meet to view collections, exchange or buy newly […]

The Bressingham Gardens

Normally from late March until late October, the 17-acre gardens and Steam Museum open as a joint attraction for visitors; a very unusual combination arising from Alan Bloom’s fascination with both. Hopefully both will be open later this year, but in the meantime here is something somewhat unique that you might like to watch on TV tonight... #InsideTheSteamTrainMuseum Thursday 28th May at 7pm on Channel 5

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Defender’ has never looked better but, like so many plants in the gardens, is not listed in the RHS Plant Finder. Maybe we’ll divide it some time … ... See MoreSee Less

We are still not opening the gardens until we get clearance to do so, but we thought you might like to see a spectacular rhododendron in Foggy Bottom. Planted back in 1978 or thereabouts it once had a label, which regrettably seems lost. It grew to be a sizeable shrub amongst others, branches struggling for the light. A small 'tornado' blew down conifers nearby, and this area was cleared and planted last year.

Sorry you are not able to see this amazing display … but make a note to visit in early May 2021, and it may be even better! ... See MoreSee Less
