Considered to be one of the finest hybrid camellias, 'Donation' was raised at Borde Hill Garden and awarded the RHS Award of Merit in 1941.

Despite the chilly weather, now is an ideal time to enjoy many of our camellias.

An Oneida legend tells of Aliquipiso, a brave warrior girl who gave her life to save her people. It is said the Great Spirit transformed her hair into twining woodbine and her lifeless body into shrubby honeysuckle, which her people named “blood of brave women”. #FolkloreThursday

In Norse mythology the goddess Freya is associated with the return of spring. It is said that as she wanders over the earth shaking her curls, spring flowers flow from her golden tresses, and a warming breeze is created by the swishing movement of her green cloak. #FolkloreSunday

To make #Ghent more resilient to #climatechange, the city has invested in pavement removal & #greening. Still lots to do, but a livelier, more permeable streetscape already. #urbangreenspace. @Stadgent

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

Creating a log pile is much better for nature than burning a bonfire - and it’s an easy way to help wildlife! Dead wood provides a home for all sorts of insects, lichens and fungi, and is a source of food for birds, frogs and toads.
