I have always admired the East Gates depicting Rhododendron calophytum. The gates are fitting recognition that the garden holds the world's largest collection of wild origin Rhododendron, some 650 species.01 Apr 2026 13:42 +0000at://did:plc:kb2tusehsl435g3bfktsrfw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3migt2ny6hs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/sheilawhitehead.bsky.social/post/3meyslr4s5s2tBBC News - Special bricks to help birds put in every new home in Scotland https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/articles/cly9r7d74l5o16 Feb 2026 19:41 +0000at://did:plc:kb2tusehsl435g3bfktsrfw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3meyslr4s5s2thttps://bsky.app/profile/sheilawhitehead.bsky.social/post/3lffuf6fej22bLooking forward to the start of 'Monty Don's British Gardens' 8pm BBC2, today, especially to see Little Sparta, created by Ian Hamilton Finlay & his wife Sue. I wasn't sure what to expect when I visited, but loved this unique moorland garden, its diverse themes of artwork, landscape & planting.10 Jan 2025 18:51 +0000at://did:plc:kb2tusehsl435g3bfktsrfw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lffuf6fej22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/sheilawhitehead.bsky.social/post/3ldxvqbof7c2mPuppy raised lovely Cookie for Guide Dogs and we're so proud of her becoming a working guide dog earlier this year. Her guide dog owner sent me these lovely photos as it will be her first Christmas with them. So thoughtful to do that. It really made my day!23 Dec 2024 12:13 +0000at://did:plc:kb2tusehsl435g3bfktsrfw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldxvqbof7c2m
