And so it begins!

Martin & the Magpie Home Grown

Our walled garden to grow flowers for you.....

Seasonal.... English....Local....

We have a list as long as our six arms put together!!

BUT tell us what you'd like us to grow???

glass and shell

we have some lovely old french glass jars at the moment which look fabulous filled with shells......or Miss Magpies  gorgeous  Vintage Magpie necklaces.

We were also playing about with a panorama picture of the shop..I think you will have to click on it to enlarge it.....the window has changed since it was taken last week...we had the most amazing red pepper plants in it and a fig tree........only the fig tree remains..we are going shopping at the weekend so watch this space it will be all change again in a few days!!

where did that week go!!!

Gosh....as usual Easter has crept up on us and we are flying by the seat of our pants....again!!!!

We have had some of the most staggeringly beautiful flowers in over the last  week.......almost all we ( read Kay ) forgot to photograph!!

 Dusky pink helebores that we managed to keep from going floppy ( without the gin...thats another story).
incredible flag iris..we all took some home such is their fleeting beauty...but a few customers were allowed to buy some.....:)

 ..the most incredible deep burgundy scabious with fly petals of purple........tiny, tiny, mauve dianthus...fit for a  dolls house dinner party table........cornish daffodils in beautiful mixed colours...pretty,petty,pretty....

.......but my favourite.....pots of scented violets.......how can such a tiny flower smell so divine?......
The last two pics are of our current door wreath...suitably springy of course.
We will have lots of loveliness for Easter, flowers and plants so do call in... we also went shopping at the weekend and have some  new vintage garden containers and statues.... we may have chocolate eggs as well....
