The first bedding Geraniums for 2017 have been set out in a raised bed near the platform entrance.
We have also cleared and replanted a ground level plot with mixed plants,
A bed was also sown with wildflower seeds, so as they say, watch this space??
But with yet more building alterations planned we are limited in what we can do.
