Britain's largest man made meadow, The Field of Dreams', with wildflowers from around the world is now in full bloom. It is free to go and see, but you can offer a donation to one of four charities. The meadow has been created by Brian and Denise Herrick on a two acre site in Somerset.

Largest Wind Farm in UK
A new wind farm is now operating up on the Scottish hills near Glasgow. They might produce clean electricity from a renewable source which is great but they really do have a terrible effect on tranquility and the landscape.

Diamond Jubilee Gladioli
It's certainly a summer of red, white and blue with the Diamond Jubilee and British Olympics, so if you want your garden to match your Union flag bunting then how about these Jubilee Gladioli that will flower this year in August if you order them now. As they are bulbs they will then flower year after year during the summer. Height: 45cm (18”). Spread: 10cm (4”).
For just £10.99 you can get a mixed total of 18 Corms so this isn't jsut a feeble little attempt. This will transform your garden into the most patriotic in the street! ;0)
You can order HERE
