Our first open day is Sunday 27 April (carpets of #daffodils, hundreds of #azaleas and some early #Rhodies 🤩) then we’re next open on Sunday 4 (our brilliant Family Fun Day), then every Weds - Friday and Sunday in May, all 1pm - 5pm.

Every year I get caught out by this absolute stunner of a camellia sasanqua. This year I was determined to catch it opening, but once again I managed to miss the progression of buds getting larger and larger, the first unfurling of petals etc… not sure it matters really, I get just as much of a thrill seeing it in full flow like this, tucked around a corner against a traditional Norfolk flint wall. My eye receptors aren’t quite used to so much magnificent pink after the dirgey colours of winter. Such a treat against another beautiful blue sky. I had to immediately pick a posy for a lovely kind friend (you know who you are!) #hellospring #norfolkgardens #opengardens #camellia #friends

Crocuses under the mulberry tree are almost glowing in the evening sunlight today. So magical. Molehills less magical - has anyone else found the moles to be particularly bad this year or is it just us?! Think it’s the relatively mild winter and softer ground as they’ve had a field day (pun intended) in our lawn. #norfolkgarden #opengarden #moles #mulberry #crocus

Happy Valentines’ Day everyone - some lovely pink buds opening just in time here at Stody. This is #rhododendron ‘Christmas Cheer’ (strangely named as in our garden it’s never out in time for Christmas, but always just in time for Valentine’s) and Camellia × williamsii ‘Señorita’. Hope you’ve all had a message of love from someone, if not - here’s one from us to you! 🥰. #valentinesday #pink #love #flowers
