We had another bright, frosty start to the day here at Winterbourne and doesn't the Walled Garden look great bathed in early morning light ?

Chillis come in all sorts of sizes, colours and heat. Grown onsite, here is our epic haul of harvested chillis from all around the globe!

Yesterday we had the most beautiful sunrise over the Walled Garden and just had to share!

The Dahlias are still going strong in the walled garden and look beautiful! Do you have Dahlias in your garden?

It's #MuseumShopSunday this Sunday, a day to celebrate & support museum shops and cultural attractions! All purchases support Winterbourne and this year, for the first time, we'll be taking part entirely online with our brand new online shop. If you've been eyeing anything from the shop, Sunday is the day to buy it!... https://www.winterbourne.org.uk/onlineshop/

Gardener Jude has been getting us all into the festive spirit by decorating the front of house. These Christmas trees have been decorated with chillis and foliage from the garden and we have think they look splendid - excellent work Jude!

We took a trip down to the woodlands and found the ground to be completely covered by a leafy carpet!

The garden team and our trusty volunteers have been planting up pots and pots of spring bulbs to add a splash of colour next year. We've been dusting our crocus bulbs with chilli powder in an effort to stop the mice nibbling them over winter!

It's that time of year again when our garden team have constantly got barrows full of vibrant fallen leaves!

Head of Winterbourne @lee_hale17 has been getting back to his gardener roots by reshaping the stream lawn border!

Last week Cacti Volunteers Arthur and Gill cut back the Euphorbia ingens as it had reached the roof of the Arid House! The pruned off sections will be rooted and sold in our Gift Shop soon

We took a wander down to the stream this morning and were joined by some very noisy birds! What birds can you hear?

Lovely to see we were mentioned along with our friends, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts in a The Guardian article about readers Favourite UK museums and galleries!

Here is our annual reminder that our shop looks incredible this time of year!

The Winged Spindle in the garden is at its best this time of year. These pictures don't quite show how vibrant the colour is so you'll have to come down and see it for yourself!

Did you know we sold cacti and succulents in our shop? They're perfect for brightening up any home office or window sill and we've so many different options to choose from - you'll be spoilt for choice!

After a gloomy couple of days we were thrilled to see the sun come out over the top lawn this afternoon!

Our friends over at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts are back! The Universities stunning Art Deco gallery has reopened so you can see Monet, Van Gogh and Rossetti for free book your visit now. https://barber.arttickets.org.uk

Our RHS practical students have been applying their new skills in the garden this week, helping apply nematodes to our lawns. We do this to reduce the population of chafer grubs that live underneath the turf. The badgers find these chafer grubs irresistible and ruin our lawns in the quest for them!
