Putting things together for the new gardening course is making me feel that spring is close. I'm filled with hope and plans - and pacing up and down like a caged tiger at the window. Only January and February and part of March to go then...

Warmed by the fire
This is Cornus sanguinea 'Midwinter Fire' - a dogwood with colourful winter bark. Grow several together for maximum impact.

Oh Christmas tree
I love Ladybird books, the real ones and these ones (the robin story was one of my favourites).

Darkest days
I should be tidying the house and Christmas shopping, but am clearing some Verbena bonariensis instead, now that the birds have pecked it over. I try not to be too tidy, as wildlife needs shelter in the winter and some of the seed heads look winsome among the grasses in the low light.

Natural decorations
I like the thought of biodegradable, ephemeral Christmas decorations that don't have to be stored until next year. These will just melt away on the compost heap.
