We've been painting and planting some bulbs in our Wellies and Wheelbarrows group using some botanical paintings as inspiration - we're enjoying the beautiful colours and looking forward to seeing some growth.

We took a moment to enjoy the small amount of snow cover in the St Nicks garden last week. Our lovely tansy beetle sculpture looks right at home and even more fantastic with it's clothes (casing) on too. We should probably give them a name...any suggestions?
