Some photos from Jim Jermyn of Branklyn at the moment -  remember, even if  his talk is fully booked, there is still the super garden to see...

"Conducted Tours to be given throughout the day. Refreshments will be offered from the newly opened terrace cafe! Crocus tommasinianus and Eranthis 'Guinea Gold', hold sway!"
