Garden News | April 2026
Welcoming April in the garden at Leonardslee is almost like the arrival of Christmas for my team and hopefully for our visitors too!
There’s obviously the general promise of regrowth and renewal that spring brings as everything emerges from their winter slumber, but if you’re a keen gardener or visitor of gardens, there is even more to get passionate about; whether it’s the wealth of new flowers coming into bloom or the interesting projects us gardeners can get stuck into, April certainly promises to be an exciting month!
