Hawthorn, one of the earliest trees to show their leaves, is a personal favourite. I love the rugged windblown shapes of bushes, their life affirming green leaves and buds heralding white ‘May blossom’.
Pines are showing their new cone growth, trunks casting long, lovely shadows across the ground. Close-up their bark becomes a rugged landscape. Breathe deep, fresh air, birdsong, the lovely green…
Happy nature gardening! Jenny
