This has flowered and reminded me of when I bought it on a fabulous #gtmeetup at RHSWisley last year, it’s reminded me of how much of a sanctuary my garden has been and as an extension of that #gardentags too, so thank you all you lovely people for your advice and humour, a fantastic distraction from the real world you will never fully appreciate how much you’ve helped to get me through the most heartbreaking of times. 🙏 #augustblooms

Aww morning Carole, love these , but I think mine are all leaves this year 😢 have a fab day 😘

Gardening is so good for our souls! There are some beautiful people on here 😘😘

Morning Carole lovely words and I couldn't agree more. Have a good day 😄

Still time @juliesgarden this is my first one so far.. thank you @Keely certainly are @jonners73 💕

That was a fab day wasn’t it? Hope you’ve mastered taking a selfie by now! 😜 I’ll message you later x 😘

Gorgeous photo 😍

We had a wonderful time at Wisley, some of us complete strangers but getting on like a house on fire thanks to our mutual love of gardening 😍 Sending love and hugs, Carole, and looking forward to meeting up again soon. @carolecuttingitfine 😘

I may of mastered a selfie but my arms aren’t long enough for the soft focus I need @rachelbrooks 😉 and yes I couldn’t agree more @jacaranda 😘 and I look forward to hopefully meeting up again at wisely.. remind me of the date again so it gets into my diary 😘

Lol bit of Vaseline on the lens! 😂 I think we had arranged to meet at Wisley on the 19th September, but I’m not sure now if we’re meeting on the 20th instead..? 🤔 can you remember Barbara? @jacaranda

I think it was changed to the 20th as @richard.spicer.7906 couldn’t make the 19th and @clipperty had booked the 20th off work by mistake 🤣🤣 I’m sure they’ll correct me if I’m wrong 🤞 @rachelbrooks @carolecuttingitfine

Woken up to my beautiful new #gladioli, a lovely souvenir from a great day out at #wisely with the lovelies that are @jacaranda @rachelbrooks @susieg and @cassie26 - thank you for your fabulous company 😍
