Beautiful Borinda papyrifera to beat the Monday Blues. Seems to be relishing this washout summer, and has made excellent growth this year. The epithet ‘papyrifera’ refers to the large papery culm sheaths that fall to reveal the powdery blue canes. #BorindaPapyrifera

Mornin’ folks. We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on. Please retweet so more are more informed. Thanks good people. #bees 1/16


It’s certainly not an exact science but we do our best with our Guide to Hardiness based on our 23 years of growing and supplying plants. #planthardiness #guidetohardiness #nurserygardens #beccles #norwich

The Bee Orchids are back. Although we have to maintain a fairly tidy propagation area to stop weed seeds blowing into our stock we’ve left some areas unmolested and have been rewarded with these treasures again!

First sunshine at Beccles for what seems like forever. I know some parts of the country have had a heatwave but it’s been grim here in the east. Dare we put our winter uniform away yet?

🌿 Keep the mower locked away a little while longer! If you've taken part in #NoMowMay, let's continue to leave our grass uncut to support our wildlife. By letting it grow wilder, you're creating a mini nature reserve on your doorstep. 🐝🦋🐞 #NoMowMay #JunesTooSoon

Meet Zoe, our work experience student who spent the week with us at Urban Jungle. She plans to apply what she learned to her future studies or career. Zoe's advice to students interested in the plant industry is that you have to love the work and put effort into it. Wise words.

Give your lawn a break this May and let it grow wild! No Mow May is a great way to show your support for biodiversity and create a habitat for pollinators. But No Mow May isn’t just for May. It’s important to leave areas uncut into autumn. 🐝 #NoMowMay #Biodiversity #Pollinators
