The shop in March

It has been the wettest and windiest few months in many years.... since records began? On the other hand, it has also been relatively mild, with only a few frosty nights and hardly any significant snow or ice. All of which has made us realise that it's important to think about indoor plants too. These can give those of us with itchy green fingers something to care for and enjoy when the outdoors are simply too inhospitable.

Lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium) are beautiful, unusual orchids.

A new delivery of ceramics from Danish company Bloomingville has provided plenty to admire and display. We burn the Bergamot and Nettle tealights from St Eval Candle Company in these. Gorgeous.

A selection of beautiful bud vases, stem vases and pot holders (jardinieres), all by Bloomingville.
