Life at The Mead during May
All around is that wonderful fresh green, the new leaves coming out on the trees, the roadside verges with the cow parsley just starting and the grass which has started to really shoot!
The birds are frantically feeding their young. The recent weather has not helped them as their usual food source which they get from the wild is not there so food on the birdtable and in feeders is more important than ever.
Welcome to the Mead Nursery website and our 20th year!
May 2012
The Mead Lamb is so cheering, it might become our nursery mascot! We cannot bear to remove it from the Home page, just yet.
We think we have our best ever range of plants available this season. Come and see what you think!
The alpine Phlox are a real splash of colour. It is prime time for alpines so the sight of the alpine sales bed as you come into the nursery is a sight to behold!
The Allium 'Purple Sensation flower buds are just starting to show violet purple, a promise of things to come!
We think Anemone multifida 'Major' is a very under-rated plant. It has soft creamy yellow cup-shaped flowers now followed by cotton wool seedheads later on. It is an easy plant to grow in sun or light shade.
