Bling

There is one thing I love gazing at more than flowers. Baubles.

Flowering quince and spring bulbs in the lime walk at Sissinghurst. #alithemindfulgardener #sissinghurst #ntsissinghurst #springbulbs #springgarden #kentgardens #visitkent

I often favour my macro lens in order to capture the details of flowers. Today I made a conscious decision to use a different lens (14-42mm) in order to capture the bigger picture. I enjoyed playing around with angles so that I could capture detail in the foreground, but give a sense of space and perspective in the background. #ntsissinghurst #sissinghurst #sissinghurstcastle #visitkent #englishgarden #englishgardens #springgarden #gardenphotography #garden #gardening #lovespring #instabloom #springbulbs #flowersofinstagram #instagardeners #instagarden #gardensofinstagram

The bulb which attracts the most attention right now is the hyacinth. I find hyacinths to be the easiest of bulbs. They are reliably hardy and perennial, and bulk up each year. They are little fountains of colour spouting from the border. They are the link between the crocuses and the tulips. Their scent is the sweetest and strongest of any spring bulb. They can perfume a whole garden. #alithemindfulgardener #hyacinths #springbulbs #springflowers #scentedgarden #garden #gardening #lowmaintenancegarden #easygardening #flowerstagram #instabloom #marchgarden #springgardening #colourpop #colourful

No matter what the weather brings in March (and it can bring anything), this is the month for me when the garden really wakes up. New growth is bursting from every corner. #alithemindfulgardener #springgarden #springgardening #garden #gardening #pulmonaria #blueflowers #forgetmenots #growth #marchgarden
