Volunteers and visitors enjoying the cooler weather

After that mad heatwave, it was great to be able to get stuff done outside again! Watering particularly vulnerable plants was of course a priority – many of our favourite herbaceous plants can cope with the heat and of course the squashes and sweetcorn love it. So there is still plenty of colour in the Gardens and volunteers and visitors were treated to lots of lovely butterflies and moths. But other plants have definitely been stressed and lots of deadheading was needed. Some trees are also clearly suffering – hopefully they can be saved.
