Tamarisk moss (Thuidium tamariscinum) A beautiful highlight from a walk on Boxing Day. This is a moss that I had not come across before. This almost looks like a tiny fern. This was thriving next to a flowing stream off the mountain top, plenty of
Seasonal colour with a touch of frost Planting is not all about the summer! Winter has always been my favourite time of year, not many get to enjoy it and take the opportunity to venture into the garden. There is so much wildlife, colour and scen
